Okay, going along according to plan. Some comments:
1. Good thing we're getting that chariot done next turn. I'm getting paranoid about barbarians, but one single chariot is literally enough to protect our whole empire from barbarians for the next 5-10 turns. We'll definitely want at least three of these soon, though. And in addition, if we feel like we can substantially weaken one of our neighbors (i.e. the two "front runners" to win the game right now!), we might consider a quick 4-chariot rush to raze a city. It might not be worth it, though.
2. Soon we're going to have 1 warrior in each of our three cities, plus two up north, and two down south/west. I think the 3 that are in our three cities now should just stay there and act as military garrisons. The two warriors up north should probably stay there as well, especially since we'll need to move one of those warriors east towards our fifth city. The warrior out west should continue heading there to meet Orgynized, while the other one near Stanford can explore the south and possibly fog-bust. Alternatively, we can send him east near the silver (which is probably what I'd do) and then explore the rest of the land between us and India.
3. Our fourth city, UC Berkeley will be founded shortly. What do we want to build there? Granary? And which tiles to work first? Since we've already got roads near the corn, we should try and get the corn improved as soon as borders pop.
4. We're nearing the end of our plan, so what do we do once we get Writing? Carnegie Mellon and Stanford need Libraries in them ASAP, which is made easier now by the fact that both cities already have granaries. MIT needs to grow to size 4 (it's been waiting forever) and then it can be a nice chariot - worker pump.
5. Cottages!!! We'll be making a good number of them in the Carnegie Mellon - Stanford area within the next dozen turns, hopefully.
6. What's the tech path after Writing? We want the two 'major' classical era techs soon, Mathematics and Monarchy. Which one do we aim for first? My inclination is for Monarchy, but it's not too strong...
7. Scout move for next turn? I can see us going either 3-3 or 9 and then reevaluating from there.
8. Warrior moves -- why don't we move our northern warrior next to the wheat (on the forest, and then pull the southern one back in our borders? We know if our settler will be safe after the northern warrior moves next to the wheat.
