I would say build more farms than usual and be sure to make use of the happy cap. Go for just a couple great scientists for specific purposes early, then go nuts with caste later to get more. But the important thing is food.

Comments after checking the save/reading the thread.
Planting that island city is going to cost 10-11gpt, combined with the marble city there is a very real posibility you lose money at 100% gold. This is the most important issue right now. I think Commodore could very well have Oracle Maths. Since he is India that is a really god boost to production, plus it puts him more close to construction to finish Pindi. Pindicator has 3 cities, one of then is very likely to have horses. Gifting horses to him won't do much other then antagonize Commodore. First than anything I would get CoL by any means necesary that would open a lot of posibilities. Try not to get to caught up in wonders. Yeah Minds, GLH and GLB are all good targets but don't go for all of then. Wonders are fine but an equally good invesment is to get lands from Dazed and Pindicator that you normally shouldn't and then crush someone with Knights. That is more likely to get you a victory in this game, regardles of how many shiny things you get.

 Aparently the economy is better than I though, still OT is costing almost 9 gold in maintenance at size four  THH settle a new city close to OT  I just notice that THH doesn't have any happy resources connected.HG + aquedcut are 133H with stone and OR so it isn't that much of the invesment, specially if somehow you can make it in LS. After poping borders it will still have a forest to chop. Combined with the Mids that are should give a good pool for an GE. Did I mention that we get a spread?  Edit: Evryone should have bronze for awhile now, barb axes might appear soon, you may want to connect the horses before moving back the workers(that finish the cottage 2NE of PPM) to EG/Milk. 
I'll update tomorrow, with shiny pictures, really tired right now.
Highlights: *Judaism spread in GT! Seriously, we get spreads exactly where we need. That's very lucky. Well, we have a very organized religion, after all.  *We 1-turned writing. I did it so we have the option of starting a library in IB next, if we so desire. I like the idea, it'd actually fit pretty well with the Mids timing. Thanks for all the comments, by the way.

And they took my parent's dog that they loved a lot. Sorry for putting this here, I just need to vent a bit. I try to stay calm while we solve things, but it's a really hurtful situation... And it helps to spit it up here.
That's worse than I expected but better than I feared. Nasty.
No need to apologize, btw. Pain shared is pain halved. It's what friends are for. ----- I guess I do have a couple comments on the game, too, once things calm down enough that you want to come back to it: Very glad to see the religion spreading! That'll help our security a bunch, and help get the infrastructure built too. In particular I'm glad to see it pop up on the THH border, I'll feel a lot more secure if that 2nd ring is ours, not his. It may be worth slipping Priesthood into our research queue at some point for Spiritual temples, now that we have options on where to build them. Extra border culture is always nice, and so is happiness. And it's our cheapest GP slot. I don't know of anywhere I'd consider a temple urgent, but keep it in mind. It looks like we'll have a permanent border with THH soon? The Marble city is probably ours, but that's probably the last city to the west until we're ready to fight. I request a direct road between Oolong and the Marble city once it's founded, for military purposes. Why does Irish Breakfast have a farm? Is that a temporary thing until the crabs and cow and granaries were in place, or do you have a plan for it? It seems like it would be better as a cottage. I feel like we need more workers. I see a couple bare forests being worked, and settlers in queue will make that worse. I haven't looked closely enough to know for sure - maybe that's an artefact of the mids run. But I'd be more comfortable if we were working more cottages or mines or something instead of forests.

Geez, that sounds horrible, what a nightmare.
Why on earth would they take the dog? That's very baffling to me, hopefully the dog just ran out if they left the door open or something... maybe he'll turn up somewhere else in the neighborhood. |
