The good news of this turn:
We finished our first building in this game!
even better:
I still think we should play safe for the next city, but after that this is definitely a spot to consider (I think right on the plains hill where the warrior is). Despite two resources, it is actually a little food scarce, but gems is a strong argument for about any plant. Also note that water south of that other PH. That could be another long channel (note that the water that start from TOS isn't actually a lake, as I thought/hoped first, but coast, and seems to be a longer waterway). I think we are seeing our mapmaker's handwriting there. It is possible that we are meant to settle that plains hill to connect both seas, so I'll scout that after moving the warrior to that jungle tile. A plant there would be a logistical problem however, very far away from our other cities, though road connectable from TOS.
Not so good / embarassing news:
We were not aiming for any of these, so not too bad either. Stonehenge went to Mardoc, as expected. The embarassing part is that I completely missed Buddhism falling. Could have been either of Mardoc or Alhazard. Al wants a religion for border popping / making use of his obelisk, but Mardoc wants Piesthood, so both have their motivation. Do you want to look up in the old saves who could have been it?
If Hinduism doesn't fall, should we try for it after writing or maths? Temple of Artemis isn't that bad of a wonder for us, actually, as the priest gives us more GPP than others get and we get extra trade routes. Obviously we won't build it before connecting marble.
Demos still good:
We have to work the lake at Pfeffi to get Pottery within 2 turns (next turn we can change that, as TOS returns to the crab). The settler is delayed a turn probably, as GD needs the corn to grow, but it may still work out.
