My limited fog-reading skills make me think that's part of our continent though so if we want intercontinental it'll have to be the island by the river valley.
I think early-ish Sailing sounds good. And pity if you are right (as usual) and that's not an island!
Quote:I thought Iron Working early would be good to clear all the resources first letting us hook them quick when calendar comes in. When will our workers run out of other things to do? I had the same thought about cottaging a horse the other night though, so if AH fits in without delaying our maths chops in 5 and 6 we should do it. Also if courthouses are a priority for us I'd like to aim for Confucianism. I don't know if we can afford it before calendar, but if we miss it which of the other religions are we likely to go for? Judaism hasn't fallen yet...
Our workers will be quite busy still for a good while. Unless we are very unlucky with jungle spreads, we won't need IW before ~T80/90 (expect seeing iron would be of course nice). We want to build courthouses eventually (maybe at ~9-10 cities), but that's also not an immediate worry. Religion would be awesome, but damn we are hurting for commerce. I wonder if we have any chance of getting Confu through Maths->Currency->CoL. Probably not.. Judaism would probably be worth the investment if we knew that we are getting it...
I want every tech!
