whats your plan for building the granary in Iliad? I thought you might work a spice and use the chop to finish it, but if you're working rice then iliad will grow before its built, and we might as well whip the granary the turn after the chop hits (which is fine with me). then it can grow on shared cottages (building warriors, or a workboat for exploring) while the capital works food, hammers, and pumps out a settler. once the capital builds 2-3 warriors regrowing, I mean.
as for azza.. hmm. Its too soon to tell. he doesnt have Iron working yet. he has a high MFG, but not power - what is he building? I don't really see him pumping out too many axes until he figures out if he has iron - why axerush when you have might prats just around the corner? two options: settlers, wonders. he's not IND, and CHA doesnt synergize with stonehenge in the rbmod.. but still I wouldnt be shocked to see stonehenge fall to him soon. with that MFG and a few chops?
Im actually hoping he attempts some wonders. our 3rd base will be fairly close to him, if we have horses a chariot rush would be nice
. If we have horses, I'm going to be conflicted - I think an attempt at the pyramids and the oracle would both be feasible here, and we would likely get a religion taking that path. otoh, a chariot rush before he can get prats would be great.
If we don't have horses, we can't do either - I don't see how we can not slot in iron working after AH :/.
I guess I prefer gilgamesh growing quicker - by the time its pop 4 we will have AH. that means we have fish, 2 grains, grassland hill, possibly horses, and furs to work, plus cottages - and we can reach level 6 - so why not get it to 6 before pumping out a settler? so grow quickly so we can get it to 6 asap.

Please don't go. The drones need you. They look up to you.
