Very important turns going on here. We have lots of decisions to make.
Research
Writing finishes. I go for masonry, as we seem to have come to some kind of consensus on the Judaism and whip a settler plan.
Cities
B&O is normal. SL is where it gets interesting.
I leave SL on stonehenge, as we can't waste a turn if we take that path. However, this leaves us unable to whip a settler, which would take one turn(for three pop) or three turns (for two pop), for 5 more turns. Even if we did whip a settler, the most we could possibly spare to accompany it would be one warrior, and that is with leaving all our cities with one-warrior defenses.
Units
Even with all the events of this turn, the most important one is last. Alpha wolf, our intrepid explorer, moves northwest and we meet Aloha!
Discussion
Where to start? We are in too many races against time, most of them connected to each other. The race to found Judaism, the race for stonehenge, and the race to defend our cities before the barbs start arriving in waves. We need to decide which ones we need to prioritize, and which ones we can win without prioritizing them. I am most worried about the barbs. Would someone be willing to do a test of when barbs show up, when they enter borders, and when they show up with which units? Such a test would be invaluable at this point in time.

just say hello, say we're glad to meet them, and tell them we got a 6 FP rice corn cow start
