Worker micro is a bit of a mess because I'm still deciding on second city location, which is why the cow has a single turn of a road put into it. Working at the micro from both ends (the turn being played and backwards from T43 to get Henge chopped right) helps to figure out what does and doesn't work though. I'm not saving gold this turn because with a city settled T35 or T36, I will need minimum 10 or 11 gold to get IW T44 or T45, so may as well save gold at 100%. Instead I'll probably do it next turn if I remember when I log in.
Both scouts have been recalled to help fog bust now. Northern scout is also acting as sentry against anything Adrien sends down, but that's a bit of a waste given how early in the game it is.

Wannabe settled on the grass forest tile as expected, last turn. 2 Worker opening expected for a T31 settle? Not unduly concerned by that, but as EXP/IMP, I'm wondering what has slowed him down...

No picture this turn. Neu Crapital doubled whipped this turn, now demograpics suck due to lack of pop. I wonder how many people are going to scratch their heads when they figure out I double whipped and try to understand why it makes sense. I doubt many realise I have granary and 2 workers already.

Probably the most hammers on a single tile at this stage of hte game: 2 warriors, 2 workers and 1 settler for 250 hammers. Half a Mids in investment.
Henge started.

Wannabe improved crab before rice for some reason.

Finally have 10 minutes to look at the game properly and I think I've lost Henge in what is essentially an act of god. No way should I have seen someone going Oracle before settler, so I don't feel like researching Myst and putting 33 hammers into Henge rather than 2 warriors was a mistake, just a failed gambit. It hurts, but the micro now is more painful. I continued to build Henge after Oracle fell, but that only accountes for 14 hammers into Henge. Still, it would help a bit with the fog busting.
Right now, I can give up on Henge by building a settler which I can whip T40 and plant T42 to share the pig (and overlap but not use) the capital cow (223 of neu Crapital). I could build a worker and still stick with the MM until next turn when I chop the silk forest, to finish a worker eot40 and settler eot44 with a double whip. Not getting the free monument hurts me though, I've used a dot map that whilst ideal for being able to grab metal with third city, kinda required the settler to not finish until after T45 or so. Finishing it much earlier is a bit...blah.
What I'm currently considering is how to 1 pop whip a worker out of Joeys' Fault and leave the city at size 2 working a grass hill mine and a sheep whilst the third city steals the pigs and grows a few pop sizes. I've run micro on chopping a granary at size 1 for the third city, but that was all assuming Henge: now I need a barracks and granary ASAP for the border pop to pick up the outer ring pig and silver. There are only 2 inner ring forests and a capital forest available. An outer ring forest also exists but can't be picked up until T50 when capital borders pop to third ring.
tl;dr is that I can't get both granary and barracks from chops. It's probably better to three chop the granary and then 1 pop whip at size 2 a barracks. That needs 3 workers, and I just can't get them if I go settler now. Going to have to go worker>settler.

Oh look, dtay finished Henge. Colour me shocked.
HAK, you're a bastard and I'm coming for you. All I have to do in this game now is to develop at a reasonable pace and start killing people. Nothing else I can do.

Also Wannabe hasn't hooked copper or rice yet. No idea what he is doing, but real chance he went worker>settler as Joao and has kinda fucked his start because he should have 3 cities by now and a reasonably developed second city that has more than a single 4 food tile improved. He is also putting more EP on me beyond the 43 needed for graphs.
I think he's a newbie and not a smurf.
