Yeah I would have sandboxed some but we don't have a file for after Stonehenge unfortunately.

Yeah, I would've dicked around with a SB today if we had one.

I tried going off of the turn 42 one for a bit, but it looks like the settings are off. When I planted Focal Point the sandbox had us at -7gpt instead of -8

That and it's hard to tell exactly what's done in some of those turns

Yeah the sandbox map size is 92x52, whereas the real dimensions are 84x52, at least according to a post I found by kjn. So the maintenance is off, which is not ideal when we're trying to estimate our tech rate.

Unfortunately changing the map size requires replaying the sandbox from T0. Here's a corrected T0 save if someone wants to do that...

EDIT: Can someone confirm that the actual map dimensions are 84x52. I can't seem to find the original source of that info...
I have to run.

That would be embarrassing.
I replayed that turn a number of times due to other mistakes, so its possible. But if your file lines up then its all good smile

I agree with the plan to try to oracle Currency as well. I also like a lot building it in MM.

One thing to remember about spreading religion is that we'll need either OR or a monastery neither of which will happen any time soon. So a quicker prophet will be very nice for auto spreads.

Building it MM will also prevent 'polluting' FP's GP pool with prophet points.
