And Pindicator gets a religion + cheap courthouses, landing CoL. He also pop-whipped something.
I've made a settler and am going to settle him on the east hill (2e from cow)l, getting rice and reinforcing the culture on that ivory. Killed the barb that was infesting my land.

Founded Two Vultures. Set a bunch of scientists and set my research to 90% - it's becoming slightly less important to do binary research - mainly, I can get currency in 4 at 90%, so I will 
Currency->aesthetics->Lit, to build Shwedegon Paya/GLib.
then construction/HBR, unless I have to switch earlier for some reason. First chariot rolls off the line soon.
Hope to get silver online soon, which will allow for more whipping... or growth.
scooter had 2 pop growths. he decided to go vertical - not sure why.

scared myself for a second - I thought everyone had HBR!! turns out, no one has HBR I had screwed up my calcs. That's better than worrying abotu a stack of HA in a few turns, I'll say that!!
Currency next turn - i was going to improve the rice, but there might be a chariot over there, so it will have to wait until I have a free spear, I think.
No more wonders fell - scooter continues to grow - he has a size 10, 8 and 4 city.

Scooter and Commodore have joined me in the having 4 cities club - pindicator is about to - there is a little bit of drama up there:
![[Image: turn59settlerdrama.JPG]](https://dl.dropbox.com/u/68908721/PBEM34s/turn59settlerdrama.JPG)
I don't expect anything other than a city getting settled there, though.
Over on the other side, scooter has been playing fast and loose with his units - he moved a settler in without protection earlier, he's had workers without cover... and now he has a worker with just an axe for cover.
![[Image: scooterworks.JPG]](https://dl.dropbox.com/u/68908721/PBEM34s/scooterworks.JPG)
as you can see, I have a chariot and 2 workers there - his worker just started a mine.
I road and hit the (shock) axe at something like 80% odds with my one chariot and move the other up to threaten the city if his archer comes out to play. Hopefully, I can kill the axe and keep the worker, though I'll delete it if I have to.
Get currency in the between turns. Also, can whip in the forge next turn in Born To Vulture and can start build markets in VultureRoad and VultureLand. might only build one in vultureland.
I need to start spreading the religion...

guess scooter is paying attention to builds. either that, or I don't understand the sight rules, because he moved out his super city defender archer to help cover his axe.

he left a shock axe uncovered, so I had to kill it! 80% odds with a chariot - nice exchange!
I lost.
So, then I killed it with another chariot, but the 2nd chariot is in range of a spear.
I lose on the exchange, but I kill a nicely promoted axe. so that's something? not really, no...
Got a market in vultureroad, whipped in the ziggurat in BornToVulture. Lib is next->Wealth->Shwedegon Paya.

so, scooter moved his CG III/G2 archer into my territory. I wasn't sure why... I don't know, but he's talking abtou razing a city, so I'm guessing he had a chariot where I couldnt' see it and he killed Two Vultures. Ironic, considering how I was spouting off on mistakes he had made...

he had 2 chariots and a couple of workers. He lost the first, but won the second. I was able to kill the chariot, but had to use my spear (chariot bounced @ 59%), so I couldn't kill his workers - which, honestly, might not have been a great exchange for him.
So, I lose 66 + 23 or 99 hammers. he loses 40. ouch. if I had been able to kill his workers, it would have been 120 hammers on his side, or a smaller ouch.
On the plus side... I have lower costs!!

it occurs to me that I should do a strategy post.
Current tech path is Aesthetics->Meditation.
I am running wealth in BornToVulture and have this in my queue:
![[Image: 65borntovulture.JPG]](https://dl.dropbox.com/u/68908721/PBEM34s/65borntovulture.JPG)
My thought is to build shwedegon paya and then completely ignor the religious techs.
After that, masonry->construction->IW->sailing->Calendar->Lit. Will sneak HBR in there somehwere, too. I think I need better military options.
I'll rebuild two vultures - in fact, i whipped in the market in the cap and will overflow into a setltler. After that, just let the cap grow.
I'm planning on ignoring monarchy and will probably just cottage that wine tile, at least for now.
I'll pop a monastery into VultureRoad and kick out missionaries, too.
