So... everyone has 7 techs. I presume they are similar - fishing, agri, mining, BW, wheel. I think a bunch of people either have or are getting pottery - I think that's why the big GNP spikes. Scooty has mysticism, same as me. Commodore has hunting, probably besides mysticism.
Dunno about Pindicator, who is kicking ass with his size 6 city (presumably, the better to 3 pop whip a settler with) - he might have gone AH.

so, it looks like 10 or 12 turns to priesthood, depending on cottages. I'm planning on slow building a granary and then 2 popwhipping the rest into Oracle, giving me about 1/4 of oracle. if I can get copper hooked up, I can 2 pop whip a vulture, as well, and try to preserve the woods for other important things.
Once I get oracle, I can kick out a couple more settlers. I should definitely be buildig some ziggurats - very important, these early courts.
i wonder what sort of odds I'm being given on actually getting oracle? I guess it depends on who else is trying for it - I presume that pindicator will be trying for writing.

Commodore grew another pop point. Max soldiers has gone up - I sort of assume this is a holkan from pindicator? Dunno.
I am irrigating the corn, then will improve the copper and build me some more military. Hopefully, i dont have that in the wrong order...

I, currently, have the fewest soldiers of any of my opponents. That is, in a word, not good. Its not, however, a large difference (4K->9K - basically, some warriors or perhaps archery)
I should have the ability to make vultures soon, however - 2 workers improving tiles is good

Hinudism is in JungleRoad! That gives that city 7 cpt, so it can hold it's own vs. the cap right next to it. Buddhism hasn't fallen yet, either.
My plan is priesthood->hunting->AH->writing - that puts libraries off for awhile, but I'm ok with that - I plan on a lib in the cap, but after Oracle.

I am running binary science for awhile - i make an extra beaker, which is a big deal right now.
Priesthood in 4 - 1 turn 0%, 3 turns 100%

and I can build vultures and no one has attacked me!!
I should have put a turn into a vulture, then I could emergency whip one. Ah well - I'll do that next turn if I can't whip the granary.
Priesthood in 2 turns, whip the cap granary into Oracle overflow. I think I'll probably do a 2-pop whip of a vulture or spear or something along the way to get more overflow.

I have priesthood. I'll be able to 2 pop whip a granary in the cap for 19 overflow, turning into 38 hammers. Then slow build for awhile and 2 pop whip a vulture into 19 overflow.
I can pop whip a granary in vulture road next turn and overflow into a vulture. There's a barb hanging around - I can kill him for some xp

Also, Scooter founded his 2nd city in the last couple of turns, I think by the horses (he has more land than me)
