Actually I opened the save too, we could try sending it at the exact same time to piss him off.
I like those demos !

The question is: When do we revolt into rep? Right now we have no city that needs the happy besides GD in a couple of turns maybe, and we need to grow first before working specialists (plus, no city but Pfeffi can). I'd like to get out 1-2 settlers moving before the revolt, to speed up our expansion.
Also, building a second settler in TOS as I wanted first feels like a waste - how about this: We grow Hulk to size 4, then start a settler and 2 pop whip him ASAP for the D spot. TOS grows building a spear after the settler, who founds MoM city because we can't defend anything else right now (Al got a WC next to our now 5XP, but injured axe, I hope he behaves... if he does, what promo do we take?).
Then the TOS spear and the Hulk settler found D (imo better on the PH).
Peas grows to size 5, then starts a settler, whose whip is timed to found marble city the turn we get calendar

yep, it's starting to look better, and wait till next turn when we get currency (of course we'll have to turn off research then  )
still, THH's 88 CY is scary, otoh he has more trouble getting granaries, so he needs more food for the same effect.

another thought: If we see we're not getting MoM, the HG could be a real option. Right now nobody but us has stones. The health bonus is of course full anti synergy with Exp

played the turn, no time to report, but have a look yourself.
THH is getting agressive; if he settles a city 3 tiles from Hulk we may have to think about a response. Also, he settled what I would call a MoM city and already got it to size 3.
The axes are on the galley; but maybe if we decide we have to take care of THH they should get off again (or try razing former Nanjing - it has another name now - from the boat)
I hope to be around in the evening, have fun playing!

Considering it, we should put art least 1t at hulk into an axe to have it whippas ble. Btw I'm glad now we did build the GW cause otherwise tba culture war could be nasty

Oh and one more thing: if we cottage that grassland at Pfeffi, then the corn will never get irrigated. I think it's worth it, but not sure

Rep : Any time is good I think, next turn means we can use a scientist in Pfeffi right away (give a mine to GD but get corn in exchange, give peas the sheep and use a scientist). Or we can wait for after calendar (the MoM build, if it is built indeed, is more dependent on chops than actual build time so revolting at this moment makes sense). Overall we can either use non-efficient specialists to get our GA then revolt during the GA to avoid anarchy, revolt now to use only rep specialists from now on like a scientist in Pfeffi which can be used at any time with a little reorganizing of the tiles, or do it somewhere in between when the anarchy won't be too bad.
Actually I feel like the one turn of anarchy costs us a lot in terms of hammers, and 13t of scientist in Pfeffi before the GA is only 39 beakers lost compared to one turn of anarchy. Should we just time it to get a GP by the time we get the MoM so we can launch a GA and revolt right away ?
I don't see what the problem is with THH. Did you move the warrior and notice a settler somewhere ? If he settles for his cow it's only fair to let him, it's his land after all. And with the GW we won't be culture pressed too bad.

I just took a look at the new turn : Lots of things to discuss. THH founded 3 tiles away from Hulk but it's alright. AlHazard founded a city in the west that has our sheep in its second ring... And most importantly our research is so good that we can have calendar in 5t. That means that we have to make a choice now between founding MoM city and trying to get MoM or landgrabbing and founding A. I don't think we can do both, or it delays A so much we might get beaten to it. C is also threatened by the new Egyptian city. And the barb city has disapeared, most likely Mardoc took it (or razed it).
Are you sure you can't get hangouts to work ? It would be a lot simpler if we could chat about all that.
