Well then, if you're the last guy, I guess it's your turn now.

Ok I will play this evening. If anyone else has an opinion on where our next city should go, now is the time to weigh in. ThySpellcraft and Pigs want to go for the northern Horse/Silver/Crab site "blue", and I would do the southern IW-needing place, "cyan". I'll play however the team wants.

i'll split it 50/50, i'd go for the cyan site to get horses. in the long run it's a much better city than blue, in fact i would prefer green over blue ( unless there is some super resource which we can't see).

As pigs said, Cyan would make sense after IW is in.. Until then I'd still go for the silver side. So in my opinion the question of settling 2S or 1SE of the silver remains. But as some kind of compromise I'd purpose to scout the north with prague's next archer, and we'll decide after we know what's up there!

My main reason to take cyan now is to expand our borders and secure a nice city location before the AI takes it. By the time we have IW, that spot may be gone. We can still get some infrastructure chopped there, get horses hooked up, and get some culture going before IW is in.

There's a short term consideration with city maintenance. We don't have fishing, pottery or IW yet and cities are fairly expensive on Emperor.

lurker comment: good stuffs are even better now in civ... silver site is commerce AND happiness now, while cyan is not so hot until IW (and CS to be honnest).

Played 20 turns, not too eventful:
T0 Builds and tiles all look good, no changes needed.
T1 Report comes in that we're last in Tech
T4 Capital finishes a worker, set to Settler, begin Chopping it
T9 Writing in, set to Fishing
Prague Archer -> Worker
I open borders with the two unreligious civs. Monty and Shaka are still cautious which each other. I'm not sure what our plan is with these two: Do we want to befriend one and try and get his religion, or do we actually want to get attacked to start building GG pts soon? (its a fun plan when your goal is to get harassed by monty or shaka!) I'll leave the diplo with these two untouched until we have a clear plan.
T10 Settler is finished, send him towards Blue dot. Capital set to Library.
T10 Monty founds a city somewhere, not on our side
Nuremberg is founded on blue dot. Tech is at 30%. Begin chopping a monument there.
T13 Prague: Worker -> Barracks. We could get another settler in the oven, but I don't think our economy can handle it right now.
T14 Monty has gone WHEOOH. He's still cautious with Shaka (and with us). We don't share a border with him yet and our power's not too bad, so its really anybody's guess who he is after. We'll just have to keep an eye on the situation. We can do some CD2 archers soon, and we'll have horses hooked up shortly. Wish we had metal though.
T15 Monty founds a city in our general direction, and I see he has axes.
Whip library in Capital
T18 RNG event destroys the monument in Prague
At least its got its borders popped, so not a huge loss.
T20 Fishing is in. Good place to stop. Set research to Pottery.
I set Nuremberg for a WB for crab that will finish when its borders pop.
Start chopping a WB for clam in Vienna.
Horses will be hooked up in 3-4 turns.
A view of the world:
We should get a settler for cyan as soon as our economy can handle it. Shaka already has a city nearby.
Here is the save; I believe Pigswill is up next.

So why are there only 6 guys in the "top civs" list a while ago... did one of them die to a barbarian raid?

Good turnset sirolin! And I think you're right about getting out another settler soon!
So pigs you are up!

Got it.
Shaka, Monte and GK each have five cities already, Alex only has two however.
Probably rax>settler in capital. Library in city#2.
Minor quibble is that it might have been nice to explore the immediate neighborhood a bit more before heading off beyond the horizon but no big deal.

In case pigs doesn't play, I would like to request a skip, since this will soon be the third SG where it's my turn already.

Sorry chaps. Civved out for the moment. Feel free to carry on without me or we'll put it on hold (or abandon it) whichever is the preferred option.
