Turn 30
Let's run away from the bear... HUT!
...
Seriously!! 
Oh well, now our scout has 10 XP so we have unlocked Heroic Epic. That's something...
And yes, we found our western neighbor, somewhat closer than I hoped, but no can do. That little marble island is surely out of our reach and there will be a contest when it comes to getting all those nice resources between us. The positive thing is that the fact that this hut was still there means that our neighbor has not scouted this area so let's cross our fingers and hope that he pushes towards west..
Btw, based on color I think that's Azza of Arabia, but I'm far away from sure so I leave this speculation for later..
Unfortunately the bad news of this turn do not end here. Can you spot what I mean?
There was a forest growth N of our warrior. This might sound silly, but I'm not a least bit happy about getting an extra forest for our 2nd city, that's really a micro disaster. Roading that plains tile played a crucial role in our plans. I actually had prepared everything and I was planning to record a video showing our plans for the next 20 turns, but now that damn forest destroys the whole micro plan. So yeah, now we need to decide what kind of setback we choose..
a) If we prioritize the development of our 2nd city and improve our food resources ASAP we will lose 3 worker turns, which means that our 4th city will be delayed by a turn + everything else around our capital will be delayed a bit too
b) We avoid wasting worker turns, which delays the development of our 2nd city, it will finish a worker one turn later, 4th city will probably still be 1 turn slower, but other complications will be smaller
c) something else
Sigh. I would have enjoyed spending my time creating a video, which shows how beautifully we get our civ going instead of spending my time trying to figure out how we can handle this in a way that slows our development as little as possible. Sigh.
