Evidently you have thought all this through a lot more than I have 
Sounds good everything, out research standing should be retrievable from demographics over time of you're willing to monitor that / put it on a chart or something. But yes, we should be very well on that. The one thing I'd like to their on still l: we have super strong land, which lets is feel very strong, but we should remember that everyone else probably also got their goodies.
BTW, pity we don't care absolutely for stone wonders, or do we? (Glh doesn't get the bonus, or an I just being ignorant again  ?)

We've been first in GNP for some time now, also because I'm taking the optimal route and getting double prereq all the time. GLH doesn't get doubled by stone and we don't want the mids or henge, so yeah no need for stone in the forseeable future. No Moai-worthy city either.

Yeah I was just lamentating the stone we have for nothing... Well HG could be good eventually, although of course the stone bonus is very little because a good chunk of the costs is the aqueduct.
I do think that an early Moai that you can enjoy throughout the game, even if it has just 10 or so water tiles, is better than a 17 water tile spot that you get online at the end of medieval ages or later. Imo that holds even more for FIN with coast being our friend. That's one thing that worked out quite well in 65 also. But yeah right now I don't see a valid spot either.

Actually the southeastern site is ok, with only 8 tiles (including a fish and a crab) but it can give some of its tiles to the city north of it, so it has only 5 land tiles it wants to use (4 grasslands and a PH sheep, the other plains tile are meh anyway). Unless we can find a better spot soon I think this city is our best shot.

Ah a barb warrior ! 
I'll be alright. I shuffled some tiles with the new fish available at Thales, giving the cow back to Pythagoras. P is working a forest dye grassland, two fishes (one coast one ocean) and the cow, while T is working the copper and the fish. It makes the demos look great !
Small question for lurkers, Thales is at 12/16 food and 14/40 granary build, next turn is 16/16 food so it'll grow. Then I'll give it the FP tile to work, so +5 food, should I whip the granary at 5 food or 10 for the best granary benefits ?
I'll try to be clearer. If I'm not mistaken in two turns (t32) I'll be at 0/17 (or is it 18 ? I never know with quick speed), with +5fpt. Should I whip turn 33 or 34 ? Does the city grow, then produce the granary (in which case I should do it t33) or is it the other way around (in which case I could do either I think ?)

Hmmm actually problem solved, I'll use the ivory tile instead (1/2/1 for now, will be improved soon) and I won't need to whip it.

No for now it's a mine at the capital. The other one gets the ivory done, then they cottage.

I understand that we have lots of food and not so many hammers at pyth, still, would you consider hill cottages maybe? I just feel bad about delaying their growth.

Well next at the cap is settler (4t) then granary then probably library (whipped) a unit a worker and a settler. It needs more foodhammers not GNP right now, at least until all these things are done. It also needs good tiles in general, it can use the cow and two fishes right now but after that the best tile is the forest dye and that's it. The cow will go back and forth to Thales so I want a good tile right away. Being fin, cottaging hills is not as terrible as normally but only on non river hills, which means we're looking at a 1/1/1 tile at first. I really believe more cities will be more useful than more cottages. Remember that the third city (Archimedes ?) will be a cottage fest with its first 4 tiles being FP cottages (then the gold tile for even MORE commerce).
Oh and the reason why I'm not going to hard on chops is that after writing I want to go for maths (yes, very early maths) so I can get the full 20h chops.
