I think we can start researching in earnest again, as soon as the Great Spirit moves you.
Well..... I already started and just played most of turn 7. I thought I'd better stop at this point, post my log, pics and save, and get some team input. I didn't start up research again yet, but we have conquered the Glib. We have one settler out, no current dot map, and I wasn't sure if we we wanted to do ICS or perhaps plan for an eventual revolt to Commie. We've met 3 more civs, but only suicide galleys will reach them. England must have a settler on a boat.
I'll post for discusssion and finish up tomorrow night. So here goes.

no message that the English have been destroyed, though MapStat shows they have zero cities. Must be a settler on the galley near Dogwood City, so I swapped an aqua in Sumac city to a galley, hoping to go after their galley.
