Definitely DL the mood badges. They will help avoid unnecessary civil disorder.
@Inkoate: Do you have access to a PC at all? I have an old freebie Pentium that was recovered from a dumpster (a skip in English). I put an ethernet card in it and connected it to my Mac, and downloaded CivAssist2 and CRpMapStat to it. I shared my Mac's files using OS X Windows file sharing, and bingo, my PeeCee monitors my Mac game autosaves.
I usually run two screens on my Mac, but when I'm playing Civ3 one of them is blacked out by the game software, so I hook that one up to the PC instead, and it gives me status on my game at each inter-turn. Very cheap, very neat

I believe tao manages to run CivAssist albeit slowly, I'm sure when he checks in he'll give you more info.
And I'd be lost without the mood badges now.
Seems like there are a lot of lurkers to this game.

Seems so. I suggest sending the warrior S to explore the FP, then onto find contacts. I also think we should build another warrior to explore in a circular pattern out from our cap city.

Lurkers are welcome.
I use CivAssist II on my macintosh with Virtual PC. It works sort of o.k., but it needs to be "asked", no automatic pop-ups.
There is a Java version of MapStat available which works fine on MacOS X. However since it gives information about "the world", it should only be used once you know about 80% of the map.
@Renata: Do you call me a grumpy old man?

I hope she didn't or I'd be the old hag of the team!

Ooo, I suggest that we put a settler 1S of the wheat, lots of bonus food, plus some shields from the BG and mountains.

We had a fine first set of turns. Good starting position, successful defense against barbarian.
The questions now are: What is our intended build sequence? Can we risk to put our worker for 17 turns on the game tile without protection against barbarians?
As this is vanilla civ, RCP is the rule to follow.
The tile 1S of the wheat looks good, until we find a better one.

Since I am a less experienced player I was expecting to post turns based on the orginial save and discuss those turns.BeefBayford said:
Is this still the plan?
@CommandoBob: My understanding is that you may post plans on what you want to do with the 3550BC save before you continue with the game.
But please feel free to ask any question about the first 10 turns or about your replay of it. As long as you don't "spoil" the game, e.g. by exploring into a different direction!
