Turn 18 - 3280 BC

Nothing to see here. Switched back to The Wheel because we need it in two turns (leaving a turn's leeway for safety).

Turn 19 - 3240 BC:

Gold Mine is DONE! Woohoo! There's gold in them thar hills! 1 more turn to city pop to 2. I also included our score analysis to see what were getting points for. We get 0 for land but 16 for wonders?! Is that because of our Palace?

Turn 20 - 3200 BC:

I thought I'd give this turn a go.

Sirius has grown to 2 population and is working the Gold and the coastal Fish. Our score increased to 68:

Spoiler :

I moved the Warrior (Ceres) 1W to the Silk tile and he's currently in Sentry mode. I moved the Worker (Lord Parkin) 1 NE from the W Gold hill. I started building a road on that tile with the rest of his movement, and immediately canceled that order. On the next turn (21), he'll move 2 NE to the N Gold hill.

Turn 21 - 3160 BC:

The next turn has come! Ceres remains in the same spot to spawn bust, while Lord Parkin moves to the second gold. Now Amazon #1 in score and our rivals are gaining on us in GNP which isn't a surprise.

Turn 23 - 3080 BC:

New Turn, nothing new really other then our jump to 84 in score. Which was due to Land. I don't think there was much change in Demographics and the Top 5 cities were still number 3.

Turn 24 - 3040 BC

Moved the new Work Boat to the Fish. Next turn we need to build the Fishing Boat and work BOTH FISH (to allow growth to size 3 and 4 quicker, and in time for building the Settler).

Spoiler :

Here's the discussion...

 

[Trystero]

Turn 25 - 3000 BC

Lord Parkin built the Fishing Boat and worked both fish (to allow growth to size 3 and 4 quicker, and in time for building the Settler). The border expanded to reveal more of the neighboring land mass.

Sirius will grow to size 3 on the next turn and work both fish and a gold mine. The worker has finished the gold mine N of Sirius, and will move 1 W on the next turn to begin chopping.

Our island:

Reminder: On the next turn the warrior should move back to the silk tile 1SE to properly spawn-bust

 

[Irgy]

Turn 26 - 2960BC

Grown to size 3, working two seafood and a gold mine.

Worker moved to a forest ready to chop. Warrior moved back to his spawn-busting spot.

Turn 30 - 2800 BC

Sirius has grown to size 4. We are now working both Fish and both Gold tiles.

Lord Parkin moved SW-SW to the grassland hill 2W of Sirius. He will start chopping on the next turn.

The Work Boat is complete in Sirius, and we've started a Settler. The Work Boat moved SE-SE toward the other island. No new tiles revealed.

Turn 33 - 2680 BC

Update:

No Horses, Writing in 4 turns.

Buddaism Founded.

Have not moved the WB yet.

We are kicking butt with the GNP still ahead of the Rival best by 12 points. Were behind on MFG and Population but we have the land area and Soilders (2nd place there).

Spoiler :

I bet the Leader city in the Top 5 cities is the one that just got Buddaism. I'm actually going to hedge that it's Carthage since their score changed as well as ours last turn.

Spoiler :

As you can see no horses so we REALLY need to explore every square inch to find those strategic resources. May even want to prioritize IW eventually.

Spoiler :

EDIT:

We have more clam and the Desert land now turns east.

Spoiler Workboat moved :

Turn 34 - 2640 BC

grant2004 and I played this turn. WB moved 2N, and can move 1NE (and then 1NE again if possible, or 1E) next turn.

Spoiler :

The worker (Lord Parkin) moved 1E and finished the road 1W of Sirius. Next turn he moves 1S to prepare to chop for the Library.

Spoiler :

Sirius finishes the Settler next turn who moves to the Canopus site via the newly constructed road. The next build in Sirius is a Warrior.

Turn 36 - 2560 BC

Set the worker (Lord Parkin) to chop the grassland forest 1 SW of Sirius. The settler is 1 turn away from the Canopus site.

Spoiler :

Our exploring Work Boat continued toward Amazonian lands moving 1E + 1SE following the coast and revealing more of the desert peninsula.

Spoiler :

On the next turn:
1. Writing is completed and we switch research to Sailing.
2. The Warrior in Sirius is finished and construction begins on a Library.
3. We drop the research slider to 0% until the Library is complete, to save gold for deficit research.

[Trystero]

Writing finished, started Sailing.
Warrior finished and garrisoned in Sirius, started building a library.

Next turn we found Canopus, which works a floodplain tile and starts building a Work Boat.

[Irgy]

Canopus founded! Slowly building a workboat while working floodplains to grow to size 2 first.

Spoiler :

Workboat explores, gets to the end of the desert peninsula, but finds nothing of significant interest. Although more of the land is revealed now.
