Meditation in, and we successfully landed Buddhism in Thessalonica. Next turn we will be collecting money, then start Priesthood

I'm slightly worried NS7 could attempt to steal Oracle, although I'm still not sure they have BW, and don't think they can do it without chopping

NS7? Yeah they have BW. I can't imagine a scenario in which they wouldn't by this point.

I would think so, but we know for sure they researched the following techs in 30 turns

AH
Hunting
Pottery
Mysticism
Polytheism

Don't know what kind of tech rate they have, but my gut feeling says they could maybe also research Mining, but never would have enough time for BW

wait how do we know that for sure? ceause delaying chops, copper, slavery is just downright STUPID... I refuse to belive they delayed that/.. Other wise. I just don't see it... I eed to pay mor attention.

AH, Hunting, Pottery - from tile improvements I saw (will post a screenshot when the next turn comes)
Mysticism, Polytheism - from the fact they founded Hinduism smile

NS7's land as we know it - proof of the techs they have smile

Our own empire is on track to finish Priesthood at the end of next turn, and Pottery at the end of T36. I'm aiming to have Oracle done at EOT36 as well

Thessalonica is at size 3 now, working an unimproved forest. Thought about starting a Worker now, but decided to let it grow to 4, then whip a Worker

3 Workers are in position to start chopping for Oracle next turn. Unfortunately, we were 1 worker turn short of completing a copper mine before this, but I tried to think of a way to finish Oracle in 3 turns with just 2 chops, and couldn't find it. So we will lose one worker turn to returning the Worker back to the copper hill after the chop, but it's better than losing the wonder

NS7 probably got BW now (they're mining the desert hill with copper, can't imagine it would've been high on their Worker priority list if they didn't see the copper). But if they researched BW just now, they didn't research Priesthood, so Oracle should be safe

T34-35

Nothing really happened

T36

Somehow I miscalculated, and we almost missed out on the Oracle! After getting 3 chops, it was at 94/100. However, by moving from food tiles to unimproved hammer tiles for a turn, I made it it finish at EOT

So, what next? Techwise, AH, Fishing and Hunting are on our priority list, in that order I think. Builds, I think start a Settler and whip asap, then building Forge and whipping Granary is probably the optimal play. In Thessalonica, I started a Worker and will whip next turn, then build Forge/whip Granary is probably the best way as well. Although I need to count whether Forge before Granary is indeed good

Hip,Hip, Hooray!

Yeah AH next.

Copper connected, started working it right away. Whipped a Worker in Thessalonica, started a Forge, which will be partially chopped by the new Worker. Settler in Constantinople is not whippable yet, but should be next turn. AH due in 3

What are the Workers doing at the moment

2: Building a FP cottage near Constantinople
1: Finished the copper mine
1: In position to start chopping Forge in Thessalonica

Whoop! Good job, micro planning for wonders is not my forte. Now to start city spamming and getting cheap forges up, and colossus when we get the chance!
