Met someone new!
Problem is... they are playing as the #1 leader of Base-BTS...
we settle in two turns. I swapped to slavery for the potential emergency whip, and because we have our settler on the move now anyway.. I think ill have the worker road that tile so that the 2nd city "should" get instant trade routes... right? Anyway, once its done roading its going to move NW and chop to speed along the workboat out of the 2nd city. AH-Mysticism is the game plan. Axe-Settler-Workboat is the "plan" from the capital providing nothing spooky happens.

Meeting some more neighbors? Incase they all want to combine to be a real pain in my ass, i decided i needed to stop growing a turn to get the axe out NOW. Judging from CR's bullshittery, i can only imagine that both Mr.X and JerryD are going to try and raze my 2nd city with some weird combat luck. Hopefully i can get that 3rd city up and running in good time, then i can get a good stack of axes or something and go and pay CR a visit. Better if i can get HBR though...

Why are you doing mysticism next instead of AH? AH is so much higher priority.
Balthamos will be better off working a few mines, the happiness cap is so damn low, and we need units.
We'll want to get a settler on the plains hill southeast of the cow ASAP.
finally, perhaps it is better to put in 3 hammers to build the workboat faster rather than growing into it? I forget the exact micro considerations here, but if you will plan to chop next, we are fine.

Im getting mysticism so that we can whip a monument in Balthamos as soon as it grows. Im going to get the exact-amount worth of hammers into a workboat so that a chop completes it. Im open to settling suggestions.
Also: Thank you RNG for not being a total bitch!:
Flawless victory 1 promo available.
Current situation. Im only fearful of the woody 2 combat 1 warrior from Mr.X pulling a .... ME from pb38 and sniping something.. So i covered the worker with a warrior + that 2nd warrior will move to cover next turn. Plus, taking 3-4 extra turns to complete AH is ok as i dont see us hooking up the cows/pig yet. Going to be chopping out another settler + archer i think for a city to the south. Are you sure we need a city SE of teh cow at Balthamos? I was thinking of a city 2S of the cow at the capital. Right next to the fish that can be hooked up pretty soon via a whipped workboat. I see the 2nd city sharing that pig with a city to the north using the Silver. Once these warriors fuck off, i plan on scouting the south + north west a bit more. Gotta get those juicy city spots while we can.

Ok, if the micro exactly completes it, that's fine then. You should chop that nasty forest 1N of the capital asap.
I think this is an opportunity to strike back at Babylon after building up.
Edit: Good on starting the worker there.

Once these lone warriors GTFO, im hopeful to send an extra warrior down south to complete the future dotmapping.

Roughly.. 8t from now i believe. A bit slow, but considering Babylon's aggression.... not terrible.

No, not at all, I was quite surprised to see you in such a good shape. Guess Coco wasn't really determined with that choke. I think you'll get the chance to teach him his error.
