[Spoilers] Old Human Tourist: Empress of Azteca

popcorn - with the pace of PB13 I had time to go through this tonight! It's astonishingly well polished thumbsup. I tried to criticise, but all I've got is two things I'd do different. Spoilered for being boring micro nitpicking that no-one else will find useful:

T78 - the cottage for hazelnut seems odd - Alfie is crying out for more cottages to work... I guess this is because of the road?
T80 - A road on G's hill lets us chop and mine the next hill easier... that cottage isn't going to be useful for ages.
T81 - Love those work boats!
T85 - you're working a cottage at Butterscotch over an Alfie cottage - given that the library has just completed this could be deliberate, but the more cottage turns we can put in the cap the better.
T88 - Depending on our future tech/war plans the Library in Flossie could perhaps be some units part-built for later? Cornelius could switch to a spear so the axe will be stored and save on unit costs...
T90 onwards - after currency do we go for:
- 2-turn masonry (stone for Moai, pyramid fail-gold and perhaps attempt the great lighthouse),
- 10-turn Calendar for +2 happy short term (+3 once we grab the silk),
- 10-turn CoL for expansion and whipping,
- 7-turn HBR and/or
- 10-turn Construction (needs masonry) for attack?

Our options for Azza are to attack with Horse Archers, Cats and Axes just after t100 or wait until Guilds. If he gets construction we should wait for Knights, but as of T75 he hasn't got Maths yet - we'll have to see what he goes for after Masonry, if it isn't Maths then I want construction->HBR and hammer... If it is Maths then I'd estimate Construction will take him ~15 turns so if our attack is swift enough hammer, if I'm underestimating him then Sacrificial Altars will help us get to Guilds quick and whip out Knights and Cats instead.

Finally we aren't working any specialists in this setup, it's 17 turns for a GS and by t93 an academy is only worth about 5-10 beakers per turn (breakeven). By t110 the cap should be on better developed cottages, but until we get Calendar or Monarchy its probably still not worth it.
