The lurkers have it - I'll dawdle as much as possible... 
You're right Cornflakes, as the only non-creative player (LegoHydra has the Terrace which amounts to the same thing) it's all got to be first ring stuff. The capital's borders will pop to allow city two (1S of the pigs I think) to get to the dye eventually, but I am going to be very restricted otherwise. This is why I'm thinking about religion before or just after pottery... None of the others are going to be as keen as me, but two of them start with Mysticism as well, so they could if they wanted...
In other news I've been trying to work out how Serdoa got two techs in two turns. If he had a GNP of 18 (10 beakers) for two turns then 19 (11 beakers) for 6 turns that makes a total of 86 beakers which should give him Fishing and Agriculture (I'm sure that he hasn't got any soldier points so it has to be one of these). Except that the second tech showed up on my turn 5:
I understand that his turn finishes before mine, so he'll have things from t6 as I play t5, but how could he have things from t7?
