thanks alot for the SB.
I just seen the TTT ranking and i seen i am considered just second favorite, that didnt happened in a while here , but its all good as i consider my self that my playing level is not top 3 here anymore. What make me laugh is seeing Rusten i think on spot 20, man the guy is a freaking legend, he is the guy i learned civ(he doesnt know that) i can bet a top 3 finish for him .And more then that he got a combo which i would loved to have.IMP/CHA with arabia to boot for like what 60 hammers libraries , oh please.
About what i have.I think i got option on the bad half of what i consider good.France is good just because has Agri/wheel...,did you ver seen me using muskets?Maybe this time will use musketeer. About IMP/philo combo i consider prety weak but i was afraid that something even worse could happen.
When the game started i hoped to get one of this leaders in this order:
1.Gilgamesh pro/cre(who would ever belive)
2.Genghis han
2a.Catherine
3.the IMP/Ind guy
3a.Imp/cha
4.Imp/org guy
5.Imp/pro
6.Imp/exp
7.churchil. But none of this was in my draws.
So from top 5 players on the start which i consider TBS,Rusten,GJ,Mackoti and the 4 mebers team i think I got the worst combo at a close fight with TBS ( he went pericles i think) i would loved to play GJ pick or rusten's.
For civ even rome didnt had agri i would liket to have or mongolia.
lets hope no TBs , rusten ,gavagai and the finhary are not near me.

i think areta went aechery first(no other tech can be reached) , I relay hope is not near me and find myself in 15 turns from now with an archer in may land.Lets see if he went worker i think ist 8 turns to grow to size 2 if he grows mamybe he is planning getting 1 archer and go destroy someone sand box.Even so lets hope is not me, and if its me lets hope we have cooper nearby...

so as expected aretas grow to size2 , but there is a catch he is still working maximum food, so i think he might be just over cautious.I have 16 turns or so to bw alot to go.I seen commodore and pin posting and darrel middling there so i am near 100% that we have a Comm Pin meeting again.I ma realy soory for that but still better then find Comm nearme ( and just find next turn he is near me, ha ha).Anyway i run my scout aroud my capitol as i realy dont wish to meet anyone for now, and of course to find my resources. Till now i found agreat spot for city 2 but needs loads of roading and i doubt cooper will be in that areea as there are 4 resources for 1 city, to bad i am not cre....I seen someone dumped catherine, iwould loved to have her...mneam mneam..

worker finished started on the farm(corn) , becasue of the forested Ivory i got the very nice option to work just 'improved tiles' and becasue of the overflow from the worker I got 1 hammer , i go 2 turns wariour afetr i go 2 turns worker after that farming corn is finished so i swap on wariour which will finish exactly in 3 same time the city will grow.
After that workers will chop a setler .so second city will be setled turn 28-29 depends were cooper shows(i can bet we have it third or fourth ring if ist not on one of those hills, which would be awesome)
CD, shows or some people dont know what they doing we have a size 2 city which works maximum while there should work the ivory for faster worker or which is more likely some people didnt got forested ivory which is a huge minus for them and i wondering how that could be compensate(perhaps 2 6 food tiles, but i feel even so is weaker then this)
and i bet TBS got like neibour aretas which looks like from my puny cd didnt even got a wariour out(I can be wrong of course)

next turn grow to size 2 i will gain 2 hamers and lost 1 food and 3 gold doing this, dont know if worth.I ma 100% now some people didnt get the forested ivory which is a huge stback for them, I am glad i got it , I can bet this will generate a huge complaint when people will met.Why? becasue is not that you get worker 1 turn faster, when your city grow you have for 5 turns until second improvement done another good tile to work, whic will ge tyour second worker 1 turn faster out, with 1 turn out lost firs , second turn lost now and if you decide to grow 3 in the ivory case you have a good tile to work and the worker can chop instead to buil a mine.So all in all i can say this is giving you a huge advantage.I am glad I got it  .

So aretas is my neighbour, as well the'noob' naufragar' which planted a second city first so I cant complain about my neibourhood , lets hope we live in peace for a while.
Talking about peace, having over 220 tiles is a lie so there must be some serious islands.So plan is simple get astro asap.

Someone already working a special resource like gems , gold, silver cause we have some huge Gnp and even more than that must be or a creativ civ or one of the guys with religion , mostly Rusten because the other one is kind of behind and i factored even religious spreda to get that gnp.I would had got my second city by gems if wasnt so worker intensiv , needed 9 workers turn to road it.Kudos to mapmakers i Know they created a very dificult map to play for me but fun in same time.
I have 3 workers, 3 cities and i am considering getting a granary in capitol.and after that a fast libary(whiping from 9 to 6) and a forest chop(that will happen still turn 58-59) and y turn 65 to get academy online( to use that damn philo).How i would loved now to have one of AGG,CrE or pro along IMP, but you cant have all.

nu much changed since last update, still on 3 cities becasue i decided to build first 5 workers and get granaries in the main 2 cities. In capitol finished this turn with a chop and will get on the other in 2 turns.
The more important thing is what to research after AH? I feel is a turning point of the game.Go military route(get IW or HBR) and atack a neighbour now when everyone is building cities and have litle military to try to contest.
BUTTTT , there is stone and I am philo and i have a city with 8 forest and i can get math in like 17-20 turns from now and get the mids choped.and beline for banking(mercantiism) and after go for astro bulb(my observatories) and have 2 ' free' specealist for city.
Hard choises. At least I have 4-5 more turns to decide...
