Well that's an anticlimax. I pester Darrell constantly for 2 days thinking I need to work on an MM plan when all I can do is settle 1W, worker first, and research Meditation.

There is actually no downside for me going meditation first, at all...and I think I'm going to have so much commerce spare I might go BW anyway for the slaves...with a terrace and a happy cap of 7...still going to be able to stack the anger, and double whips should still be decent efficiency for something so hammer poor.

Yeah, that seems like a reasonable start. Hunting seems an obvious second for the cows. Then mining for the gems. And probably BW after that. From there, I would think Priesthood for Oracle. Maybe even Priesthood prior to BW'ing.
Any thought to settling in place? It would pick up more coastal tiles, which will be improved in this mod for FIN to work.

Well, looking at it I think Hunting only makes sense if we build a worker or settler for 2 turns at size 2, but...Mining just seems better. It doesn't delay us to size 3, costs us 3 food and 3 hammers but gives an additional 21 commerce, which would help in getting to Pottery for a terrace to grow straight the way to size 7. Other point is I don't think Oracle is the right call anymore. It's a commerce and food rich, hammer poor start, and there is another gems to help research.

Perhaps Oracle for Metal Casting to grab forges for more production then? If we find gold or silver close by, that could be pretty strong.
