Okay, well, at least we're in coinflip range. I've probably got this but then there is a lot of growth yet to come. Still no free spreads, but I need to map Monotheism's place on the plan anyway shortly. Need more commerce; oddly the best place to get it short-term is that lovely island city up there.

 That sucks, but maybe Thoth has bit off more than he can chew with maintenance? Tech IW and then sailing to go whack him with the legion?

Well, nothing is sure; I've done good with this religion/Oracle/MC, and with occupied/stretched Thoth plus struggling Dtay as my neighbors I can certainly builder a hell of a lot. Plus, TBS is Joao with Stonehenge, Gaspar is Zara of Ottomen, Ox is very good and just got Writing as Pericles. So game isn't defacto over, certainly nothing like PB16 (Impi rushes, man!). Still, it just got hard.
Krill, best RBmod change ever was the uber-cheap Archery.

I don't know what I shouldn't be told but it must be something big!

Nah I think that the alternative tech costs make archery more affordable there. But the Hunting change is pure sadism making it harder to find copper and horses.

Next dot is towards...Dtay, ish? I know it's not impressive in a strategic territorial claim sense but right now what's needed most is snowball...
...if anyone non-Thoth has a snowball's chance in hell.

In the end, I'm once again very very glad I went an early BW. Copper is king, man.
Or else we can just conclude Zulu are awful luck for poor Pin.
