Got it and looking at the save now
Wheel is coming in next turn. After that we need 6 turns on Calendar and 6 on Writing. I'm concerned about not expanding while researching those techs and getting Libraries up. Or are you thinking about going Writing before Calendar and ignoring Cotton for the moment? This is probably the main question for my turnset: do I build infra or Settlers? I see the arguments for not expanding, and this being Civ5, we can stay on 2 cities all game (until we start the military campaign). But the longer we wait on expansion, the less time the cities will have to compensate for the tech cost increase
Faith is at 144 and +2/turn. That means religion in 28 turns at ghe current speed. Maybe we want to speed it up by building Shrines? It's inefficient before we open Piety, but waiting for Piety may be too long
