I'm sure this is clear to you, but just making sure:
T92:
- Galley moves NW
- Bowman moves to France
- Galley moves SE
- Settler and Worker move into the galley
T93:
- Our victorious bowman secures the forested hill tile where our settler is heading
- Our worker finishes the road NW of France
- Galley moves into the France
- Settler & Worker are unloaded
- Settler moves NW-W-NW to the City I site
- Worker moves NW-W and puts a turn into the road
T94:
- City I is founded
- Worker that is on the forest moves W and completes the road
- The other worker moves onto cows and starts pasturing (will be finished together on T96)
That micro around moving the bowman and settler+worker is pretty much what I was thinking too, I was wondering if we should pre-chop the forest NW of France with the spare worker turn, but actually it'll be useful to have that available later. After the pasture I presume we want two forests chopped into the granary, then slow-build or whip a barracks?

- I think he might agree, he's been friendly towards us so far, suggested a map trade etc. He might also think that accepting this trade convinces us not to settle towards the ivory between us
- Let's not offer the deal this turn yet, but next turn. If the deal goes through next turn it is very likely that we have an extra happy from T92 to T101. As a reminder sugar & whales come online probably on T102.
- It might be worthwhile to make this trade before someone else trades his ivory. It seems probable that he will have an extra source of ivory and we want to be the ones getting it in the long-term as well.
Sounds good to me. Avoids stagnating Cannae

We have to pay attention to the tile micro in our capital & BoP. We have 3 targets that we want to reach and we have to balance between them.
- We get Currency EOT93
- Agincourt produces settler EOT95
- BoP starts growing as quickly as possible
In essence: Which city is working the fish tile and is our capital working cottages or mines.
BoP needs a build for a couple of turns before it starts on wealth, I think another spear... If it has the fish and sheep t92, 93, 94 it gets back to size 4 on t95 and could be size 5 on t97...
Agincourt should still finish the settler EOT95 even with the hammer lost to the silver. Although managing it and the growth in Endor might be a bit tricky. Will look at that later.
One more thing - have you noticed when YM play their turns? Would it be very gamey to burn Suttree's city whilst they are logged in, trying to make it look like their fault?
