Argh! You're just not doing this hut thing right! You need to sneak up on them...
What promo do we give the scout? (I believe we need to promote him to unlock HE.)

The forest growth is pretty unlucky too. Chopping the forest into a worker instead of roading the tile E of copper slows down the pasture and then farm by two turns, but that doesn't impact the other cities that I can see, does the earlier worker speed things back up later?
The coniferous forest growth tells us something about which bit of the map we're on (near the pole, but not near enough for snowy trees) and makes me suspect that the deciduous trees around it were hand-planted by our map maker...

Anyway, to be a bit more useful here is some C&D on our neighbours:
Azza: Washington (EXP/CHA) of (Arabia Myst/Agri/Camel Archer/Madrassa)
T6 - 35 - got a tech from a hut (no idea)
T11 - 41 - researched a tech (Mining, Meditation or Hunting?)
T17 - 42 - grew cap to size 2
T20 - 45 - 3 points for land and grew cap to size 3
T25 - 50 - 5 points for land
T28 - 56 - researched a tech (BW)
Either the T6 or T11 tech was mining. Not sure about the other, could have been an attempt at religion? I don't see any trouble with meeting him next turn, want to try to get sight of his city?
Cheater Hater: Bismark (EXP/IND) of Zulu (Agriculture/Hunting/Impi/Ikhanda)
T8 - 35 - researched a tech (presumably Fishing)
T15 - 41 - researched a tech (presumably Mining)
T17 - 42 - grew cap to size 2
T20 - 46 - 3 points for land
T24 - 47 - grew cap to size 3
T25 - 51 - 4 points for land
T28 - 58 - grew cap to size 4 and researched a tech (presumably BW)
I don't think we need to worry about an Impi-rush from this direction before we hook copper (turn 52?) - if there is a land route between our capitals (which there might not be) it looks like it's at least ten turns for an Impi, he'd need to settle city 2 for copper and know which direction to go to come straight at us.
