Of course I don't leave a fogbuster in this area for 2t and a barb city spawns... Well now I have to ask myself if I want to keep it (instead of site 4) or raze it.
Actually that's a heck of a Moai spot. I'll think about it.

Quick barb related question : If I put my two axes just N and W of the city and wait for it to grow to size 2 can the warriors upgrade to axes ? Or can they only do that when I'm not looking ? I'd be annoyed to wait until size 2 and on the turn it grows they've transformed into 3 axes (or less annoyingly 3 archers).

No, barb units never transform or upgrade AFAIK. Random barbs can spawn as axemen once the Barbarian civ gets BronzeWorking and as archers once the civ gets Archery, but a unit will stay whatever it is spawned as.

Nice, thanks ! So I'll just wait until it's size 2 and take over, and boom I'll have my Moai city.

I can't make up my mind. I received a copper for copper offer from HAK, who is on the other side of Tsargon. It's true that Tsargon is rather underdeveloped and his soldier count is even lower than mine, therefore it would make sense for HAK and I to take him down and share his land. So I sent that to him.
He's not saving gold and I had none in the bank so it was awkward to send him a message. But my military is really small, I have nothing better than swords to build and construction for WEs and cats is nowhere on my tech path, HBR will come just before knights and even archery isn't going to come right away. My original plan was to rush to knights and skip the early fighting. I'll also have better things to build in 6t, as forges will become available. So I realized that I don't really want to attack Tsargon in 10t (too late of course). I'll build a few swords and if I see HAK's power rising I'll build more. I already have one neighbor with two player's worth of land in Krill, I don't want to be his next meal and 2v1ing Tsargon would be useful in that respect.
Still I sent HAK another copper for copper offer, which he'll probably not interpret as me falling back to a "let's be friends, but later" mentality but it was worth a try.
I have a long day tomorrow so I'll do my best for the t100 overview but I can't promise much. It'll probably be the minimum, which I'll finish with a big t101 or 102 review later this week.

I just saw your message in the tech thread TBS, do you want me to do another overview shot without the bubbles ? I'll get you the tech screen this turn.

No, it's fine, I could take yours from the individual city screens.

Hmmm I haven't made a real statement about the game in a few days. I'm building the ToA in the capital, so as to get that priest out faster. Foley is using 2 scientists for a GA (16t I think) then I want to get this GP out of Kearney for shrining, although I may get a GM instead. Loads of cash either way but I'd prefer the GP. MC is due this turn, and many forge builds will follow. I currently have 2 metal happiness and I'm negotiating for Molach's gold too.
In international news, as you all already know AT and Molach made peace, and I'm watching the REM-Commodore war on civstats. That must be quite a watch for the lurkers, two players who know how to fight going at each other. And it's probably been a long time since Commodore lost an early war, so it must be really entertaining.
