I like 1NW of the horse--the main drawback is that it doesn't have a food source in the first ring, but that's why we got a religion.
What is the first build in that city? If it's a worker (or a workboat in some sense), starting on the horses isn't that bad.

Yeah, I guess NW is best for the Horse city. Unless we thought we could get a later city with the Wheat and Fish, then S of the Horse would be better.

Maybe Granary->workboat?
We need to get religion in the city but BoG is busy until t68, so might need something else before workboat. Monument or library?

Depends how much we want to piss M3 off

Turn 64
Up north we've got a bit more visibility, but nothing really useful, I'd like to send Adjustable Telematic north to say hello to Pirates now. Looks like we're at peace with TEAM now too.
We're still a bit light on military
So I've set another archer in Smooth Criminal. The workers are all ready to get to work on the horse for Stone Horse city at which point I think we want a chariot or two. Should I build a barracks first? Before the archer? It looks like SC is our best troop producer at the moment.
And finally Trac II is on his way to explore the bits to the south east that we haven't seen yet. Also I've dumped about 25 hammers into a settler, will switch to a library next turn to grow back to size 6 quickly and get the tech rate up. After the library we can complete the settler. Where should we send him?

Turn 65
Switched to library in Occam, a chop coming in next turn could go into the settler there or the library. Any opinions which we want first (I was thinking slow-building the library for pop growth whilst making more settlers and workers using the whip and chops, but I don't know if that's optimal)
Smooth kept putting hammers into an archer, will grow t67 and switch to a worker.
Blades is still on for a t68 Oracle.
Not much scouting news, M3's axe moved away from us.
Research is on Masonry to get stone online. Does anyone else have Masonry yet? Should we be thinking about pyramids?

Does anyone have an opinion on our tech path at the moment?

Masonry for stone sounds like a good plan to me. I haven't had a chance to look at the demos for c&d yet to see who else might have Masonry, but I'll check it out before the weekend is up.

What are we taking with Oracle if we get it?
