So next turn, perhaps move the western warrior 1 south (if healed) and where should the souther warrior go? I'm thinking either 8, 9 or continue east. If we go 9 it'll be slightly a waste but if there's seafood we might consider moving the horse city down south a bit. I think we should check that.
I'd put the northern warrior somewhere on our border (but in defensive terrain) so that he can defend himself easily in case we are faced with barbarians.
Confucianism was founded (via Polytheism, according to what they told us) in Love-A-Lot, so its borders will pop soon.
I think we should send some screenshots to Margarita.
Edit: Turn 43, Pacal II/Native America founded their third city.
I sort of changed my mind regarding the warrior movement. I propose that we move the southern warrior one tile northwest, i.e. 7. I'm hoping that we can explore that southern coast, and by moving 7, the warrior gets on a hill so he knows if it's safe to move on the wheat tile the following turn, and then on the forest.

I wouldn't say people are falling behind us. At this point, rival worst numbers aren't that meaningful, since teams could be selectively working tiles to produce, i.e. all food tiles which would mean a lack of production. We also have a faster start than most due to hooking up the gold fast.
However, we can't be complacent with our position. We're going to have 3 cities plus an excellent set of improved tiles and a road network by turn 50, but in the 20 turns after that, we really need to apply Slavery and get more settlers faster (along with a few libraries and lots of granaries and cottages). Our current micro plan only goes up to turn 49, and that's the point when we revolt to slavery. We might consider growing the capital to size 5 quickly then 2-pop whipping another settler for the copper or silver (or the north).

Yeah, we definitely need to explore that area. This early in the game, the silver is strong enough of a tile to warrant the settling of a potentially mediocre long-term city site.

Teddy, any word on screenshots? If not, I can try to take a few tomorrow.
