It could do the Paya but I don't think we can fit in Meditation until after Calendar.
Can we fit in Meditation and build the Paya in our marble city instead of the Parthenon?
I see the micro plan mentions an aqueduct in WIFOM - is it building the HG?
Meditation might be doable, but it needs to be checked in the sandbox. We are able to hire many more scientists, though, so it sounds feasible if we really want it. Why do you prefer the Paya? For free religion? We might be forced to go to philosophy for our own religion, anyway.
Plako and I talked briefly about HG in WIFOM on chat. So since it needed a build in the micro plan I just slotted in the aqueduct for now.
There's a nice cluster of forests around the silks city, though I guess we should weigh carefully which wonder to blow them on. Taj Mahal is pretty high priority, for example.
If you know what I mean.

HG would be nice in WIFOM to give more Engineering points, but it is probably too long shot, because it doesn't have any forests. We'll probably lose it unless we really focus on getting it so it is probably a waste to build Aqueduct there.

I did put 1T for Aqueduct on WIFOM. Not sure, if something else would make sense. Opinions?

A barracks? We don't have a lot of buildings to choose from.

I've been thinking this further. We can 3pop with max overflow ~T101 from WIFOM. After that we still need over 100 real hammers. That will take ages so in case we want to try it we need better plan. Maybe building it from silk city, if it is still available.
Also where do we want to position our National Epic? Short term capital will be superior with GLib in it. Longer term I don't see it working much Specialists so maybe some other city would be better. E.g. Bitter could be ok.

Even if all we cash in from the HG is the whip overflow from the aqueduct, that's not insignificant. And after that, we can work mines that yield 1 food and 6 gold, which is quite good compared to e.g. a scientist that yields 0 food and 6 beakers. And if for some reason we manage to complete it, that's very nice, too. So I think maybe we should go for it?
Horse's Neck has three food sources, so it seems that might be a better place for the NE than Bitter? But I don't have a good feel for where to put it. What about the globe, and other national wonders, while we're on the topic?

Ok. Let's continue our effort getting HG on WIFOM. If we manage to mine couple of the hills, completion time would become reasonable. After MoM that should be possible.
Concerning National Epic. HN's food is shared with 2 of its neighbors and especially ivory city will need that wheat quite a bit. However it has a wonder and decent production and even a forest to chop so it is probably best candidate at the moment.
On the Rocks seems obvious Moai candidate. Roughly short term micro after Work boat could include building Lighthouse and 2 pop whip towards Moai with Max overflow. We could also 1 pop whip Work boat now.
So what about tech path after Calendar. I like Meditation (Shewagdon Paya e.g. from Silk site) - Music - Fire golden age - Currency-CoL-Civil Service.

I like that, and I like the idea of going for Paya and HG. We need to save a forest site for Taj Mahal though, the obvious candidate there is silk city.
I have to run.

Is there any chance of squeezing Paya into the ivory city east of HN? Or maybe SoZ?
