Next turn can you grab screenshots of all of Gillette's graphs please, plako? I want to mark them up & put them in the T20 overview.

Another of inside the city & a screenshot of the overall area would also be good, but those're less time dependent so I can grab them myself during the other teams' T21 if necessary.

Thanks

There is copper also in our backyard and Gillette's scout came to say hello. They're directing all their EPs to us. 14/56 is current tally.

Great news. We can consider delaying AH, and settling SW of copper after the closest gold city. Research Wheel-Pottery-Fishing-Sailing-Masonry. Worth trying in the sandbox.

As for next turn's moves - maybe our scout should move 1E to make sure we're not orphaning any seafood by settling SW of copper. Our warrior might also move out to the corn, in preparation of chopping third ring forests, and to prevent Gillette from blocking our corn tile with their scout. Move 1W with the warrior so Gillette can see it when they scout out our capital next turn from the hill 2NW of our capital.

Also, I found a small improvement to our micro plan.
After farming the corn, we should let one worker immediately chop the forest 3W of our capital. The other worker will farm the wine for one turn before starting his chop. This will bring our warrior build to 30/15 hammers, and we'll grow to size 2, completing the warrior with no lost overflow into the settler. Combined with two normal chops from the forests 2W and 1W2N of the city, we'll still get the settler at the same time, with 100/100 hammers.

This lets us get our second warrior much faster without delaying the settler.

This is good. It saves also 1 turn for roading so we'll have immediate trade route between our cities and fastest possible settling time.

Behind the cut is a high-res baremap screeny that might be useful for dotmapping:

Looks like there's land across the water to the south, which I'd not consciously registered before.

Where is the saved worker turn? I still come up 1 worker turn short of both roading the tile of the new city and roading all the way from the capital. Remember that we still have to wait for the wheel.

Haven't tested yet, but I thought that the turn saved would have been possible to utilise in the road, but I guess Wheel comes too late for it to work.
