My goal is to make Audiac an example for a well run province. Growth is everything!
Vandelay will build a granary and crank out settlers and workers needed to fill the northern void.
St. Octaviansburg will build a galley allowing us to make contacts. And build a harbor afterwards to allow trading with the yellow and blue civ.
The black city is about to be founded. It will also build a granary for worker and settler production.
The orange city will claim the strait between our continent and the western neighbors. It should build a temple (or library) to claim a settling spot for a city on the other landmass as starting point for future expansion/conquest.
Next we have to settle along the northwestern river and finally on the western coast to completely claim the province before overseas settlers arrive.
The white spot will build a northern shipyard with a harbor to expand our navy.
Once the province is claimed, we will grow our cities to at least pop 6 and then trigger "we love the king/president day" to increase production. Settlers and workers can be build as necessary for southern expansion and new provinces.
Vandelay has a mixture or food and shields and might be designated to try for one of the Middle Age wonder, unless we want to build units instead and start aggressive wars hoping to get Great Leaders. A 600 shield wonder equals barracks plus about 15 veteran horsemen, a very impressive army.
IMHO it is way to late to go for any of the ancient Great Wonders (e.g. Great Library), since there will be cascades of The Pyramids and we don't know the wonder builds of the 7 other as yet unknown civs. (Of course I know them via the F10/space race list.)
If we are able to trade for 1 or 2 more luxuries, I would propose to build libraries, not temples as cultural buildings to speed our research. Afterwards some markets for more commerce. Units should preferably be build in Berry's cities, unless we have a war and need to rally behind our military leader.
PS: Of course I believe to be more qualified than any of the as yet known competitors.
