GNP will pick up as we expand further, get lighthouses up, and start working those 2/0/4 coast tiles. I don't think we will fall too far behind. I'm happy with anything over 100 beaker at 100% in BC years
Settler should go east, that's right. We can either found a city in the northeastern corner, or 1SW of the RL7's city. The former can be founded faster, the latter prevents them refounding in our land
We signed an indefinite NAP with 10t cooldown with GES

Quick turn 70 overview:
- Razed Fords of Isen, offered peace + 50 gold.
- Converted to Buddhism
- Moved settler toward rice position. It gets Rice + Spices in first ring.
- Settling NE corner will be best if we have a WB waiting to net the fish.
- Nashe is 1 turn away from expiring its whip penalty, and will be 1-turn from finishing a Lighthouse. Whip for overflow into something? Either a WB for NE corner or a barracks or I'm not sure what.
- Not sure what to produce at Ultra (Settler?) or Best (Wealth?)
- Not sure what to research next. Construction is pretty key for defensive cats, though I think we're safe for a while. NAP'd with RL7 and MNG should be preoccupied with Commodore for the near future. Backfilling some religious techs, especially Poly->Mono for Organized Religion is an option. Code of Laws is also good for the economy.

Sounds good!
Nashe should work on a Trireme we promised Commodore
I would build Settlers in both Ultra and Best
Let's get Construction quickly, I'm getting more and more annoyed with losing turns when crossing rivers  Then go CoL - Civil Service - Poly - Mono and revolt to OR & Bureau

One more thing. We should consider building Pyramids. With our insane happy cap, we won't need HR any time soon (if at all); Representation benefits won't be huge, but at least we will get something. Will that something be worth hammers spent on Pyramids - that's the question

Sent OB proposals to RL7 and GES. Sent ivory proposal to RL7. Closed borders with MNG
Ultra and Maximum are building Settlers, the former should go to the fish site, the latter to the Orange dot. I would also build a Settler in Best once it grows to 8, for the deer/furs spot on the central landbridge. Or maybe a Worker
Founded Dinamit FM on the agreed spot
There's a worker going to dejungle the dye. We need more workers! There's no one to improve the jungled gems at Echo of Moscow
Forgot to remove the signs you placed, sorry

Turn 72 was pretty straightforward: - Whipped forge in Rock FM, which also caused it to grow this turn instead of next.
- Workers mostly in place already. Improving calendar resources.
- Moved free axe toward NE corner. He'll go there for MP for the upcoming city.
- Got a free Buddhism spread to Ultra.
- Left research on Code of Laws, as it was when I received it.
We are short workers, but it's not dire. None of our cities are working unimproved tiles (with the exception of just-founded locations), and none of them have happiness problems. We should still pick up a few more, but I don't think it's critical. Landing calendar at the same time as 2 expansions does leave us with more tiles to improve than workers in the short term.

Forgot to mention that a Duke Ellington (Great Artist) popped for somebody. I believe this is the free GA given for researching Music. I wonder who grabbed it?

Religion spread to Ultra is excellent, we finally have a good place to build a Monastery
GA - my guess would be RL7, they were close to Music, and now that we know they're going for Pyramids, in Representation Sistine would be an excellent wonder for them

MNG started to spend EPs on us, guess we can take them off GES and put back onto MNG for now

Not much happening on turns 74 and 75: - Founded Orange Dot. Temporarily named it Kilo, after the hard rock station in Colorado Springs. That should be changed to fit the theme.
- Went granary first at Kilo, since it has 2 different 4-food tiles (sugar and crabs) to start. Lighthouse should come 2nd.
- Settler popped in Ultra, moving him to Teal Dot. The forest should chop the turn he arrives, and the workboat should get in range to net fish on the turn he arrives. Sweet!
- Started a library in Ultra
- Switched EPs to MNG
- Best was working unimproved Grass Forest, so I 1-pop whipped the lighthouse in. Courthouse or worker next? Or other?
- Research still at 0%, but should be able to switch to 100% and pick up Construction.
- A worker or two at Maximum after courthouse might be a good plan.
- RL started a golden age and adopted Representation. I don't know if a GA this early is optimal. I guess we'll see.
- MNG adopted Buddhism. That's good news for us! I'd love to see him spread it around, as that gives us some free shrine money.
Not a lot happening right now. Lots of granaries and libraries and other infrastructure. We're tied with RL7, MNG, and GES on city count right now, so we might hop into the lead when teal plants.
