Inherited turn: It will indeed take all four cities' beakers to get Civil Service, so no need to micromanage for food this turn.
Between turns, Morocco completes Colossus. We renew a 2gpt horse sale to Cathy. A Silver deal from Hiawatha expired, and ugh, that drove Devotion into unhappiness this turn so it lost out on food before finishing its colosseum to bring happiness back to 0.

Turn 111: A barb spawned at Monaco's camp. I hesitated a bit - we should survive one counterattack but possibly not two - but then attacked because we need the alliance and happiness right now.
Catherine completes Machu Picchu.
T112: Organized Religion adopted, increasing faith production from 10 to 16. Divinity finishes its colosseum, I start a work boat to improve its fish. Low payback but there isn't much else to do here.
Sitting the scout on the hill by the unknown city-state didn't make contact.
We renew salt for truffles with Sweden.
Portugal both reforms and enhances their religion (took me a while to realize what had happened). They took Jesuit Education (buy universities/etc with faith), Holy Order (missionary discount), and Religious Center (+2 happy from temples) as the second follower belief.
Friendship with Morocco expired. We renew it.
T113: Great Mosque completed, up to 22 faith production including the free mosque. Borobudur started.
Hiawatha makes peace with both Sweden and Morocco.
We lose our warrior. He survived two counterattacks from that barb warrior, but not a third. My fault, shouldn't have been greedy on the camp. I guess we can get by without him though.
Iroquois enhance with Missionary Zeal (+25% missionary strength) and Guruship (+2 prod with a specialist).
T115: Our scout discovers Mt Kilimanjaro and receives the Altitude Training promotion.
Very neat, as it stacks with ignoring terrain costs, meaning he can move an extra square through hills.
T116: We get our Great Prophet. He starts heading towards Morocco although will take a while to get there.
Ragusa wants Chichen Itza. I set Divinity on it. This could be vetoed but the city really doesn't have anything else it needs to build.
T117: Road to Monaco completed, and of course we immediately start dismantling it to save the costs. Make sure we remove the road on Piety's truffles, a worker just moved there on my last turn.
T119: Hagia Sophia completed. The prophet has to move to Faith before he can enhance the religion, though.
Scout met three city-states: Vilnius (Mercantile), Valletta (Militaristic), Antwerp (Mercantile). He also finally met the last missing civ: Pedro II of Brazil. I swap embassies just to find out where he is, which is just south of Portugal. I also swap our only Ivory for his surplus Sugar, no net profit, but it's possible Rome could come up with more ivory to trade to us.
T120: Education in. Research Agreements are up to the next leader but I think we should do them. Rome has enough money. Morocco will if we give them a lump sum for some gpt. We're not attacking either within 30 turns. Nobody else will be interested in friendship (they won't sign DoF if Neutral.)
I set research to Engineering on the way to Metal Casting, but we could change our minds. We'll want Optics sometime for a lighthouse at Divinity, could do this either before or after Chichen Itza, or veto Chichen in favor of the university or the next caravan with the Engineering trade route.

I left the Prophet unused at Faith so we can make sure we're all agreed on it. I think we're agreed on Divine Inspiration for follower. Enhancer could still be either Itinerant Preachers (pressure range) or Religious Texts (pressure strength). I usually lean towards Texts because it works and snowballs faster, but this map actually has quite a few city distances in the 11-13 tile range for Preachers, very notably Faith to both of Morocco's cities, and Rome city to all of Russia.
Hanging Gardens due in 5 turns in Devotion. Not sure on university or writer's guild next, up to the next leader.
Borobudur due in 2 turns, which means we get 9 cities to spread religion to. The Prophet will take care of Morocco and Iroquois. The top missionary targets are Devotion, Rome, Antium, then into Russia and Sweden. Let the smaller Roman cities and our southern area convert on their own from pressure. Moscow is likely to require two spreads (size 11 and has one follower of the Iroquois religion) but I think that's worthwhile.
