Late to the party...very nice set Thawk.
Agree on general shrine/temple plan once Oracle done (and capital Oracle>Shrine>NC)
Future stuff past Yuri's sets
Theology wonders: Wouldn't we want Great Mosque before Borobudur, so we get stronger missionaries? Or would having the missionaries sooner offset them having one less spread?
Should we consider Hagia in Devotion, just to spread out the wonder load and not have the capital build everything?
I think we should prepare ourselves for not being able to shut down Islam with a great prophet. Ours is just too far away I think, even accounting for faith about to get stronger with the Piety shrines and Temples. We'll see of course but I bet it (and Hiwatha's protestant) get spread a bit before next prophet. Also yuris please check tech costs if any other AI's hit medieval, see if they did it through Theo. (unlikely since it seems we are still only ones with Philo)...good to know how much contest we have for those wonders.
Maybe the writer's guild would be useful? The "whatever they call it" writer-bulb produces 8 turns of culture and the first great writer is pretty cheap. And the culture from the writers itself looks significant now that the culture from other buildings is so much lower. I don't see the speed of the remaining Piety polices being absolutely crucial but might be nice. Probably not in capital though, we will be keeping the capital busy on wonders so won't want to do specialists there.
Ampitheatres...pretty blah. Building an amp (in preparation for our UB) means we are spending 300 hammers and 2 gold/turn for 3 happy and 2 culture. Maybe we will need the happy eventually but that's worse than Colosseums. I definitely wouldn't want to frontload the costs by building the ampitheatres anytime soon. Also don't really see Acoustics being a priority tech,
think that in the Renaissance we will be focusing on the bottom of the tree where the units are.
Cathy has CS (OB available) which may be worth paying for to get the scout through.
Perhaps we ask Maria for DoFriendship? It's available again.
