Thoughts after the GLH and before turn 64.
The GLH gives me the opportunity to plant cities that paid for themselves so I obviously need to expand fast to keep up with others especially since I spent a lot of hammers building the wonder.
I'm going to stop saying that I isolated because I know is not true. There is a "island", or could be a continent, to my west and there is where my closest neighbor is,there is no way that I would be isolated until Astronomy. Nevertheless the fact is that nobody has found me and this is good news for me.
This means that nobody has my graphs, nobody knows that I had very little military, nobody can realistically attack me for land, nobody even know where my cities are.
This means that even if someone would want to attack me they probably can't. Even if someone find me in a couple of turns and they are willing to attack me and have the military to do so, they won't have galleys to do it in a realistic time-frame.
What all this means? I'll go further with the farmers gambit since is the only way that I can keep up with the guys that have more land than me. Enough military for the barbs for at least another 25-30 turns, will this be a mistake? We shall see.
