yup, especially as the Cottage hasn't grown much. Annoying the Iron popped up where I had placed Cottages too.

You only *need* 1 iron. They are cottages with 1 hammer extra currently. If they have grown a lot you could always leave them as cottages.

true, don't think they're greatly advanced, may not even have been worked yet; but I'll only mine the one under a Forested Hill I had been leaving.

the other one of the discoveries is outside a city's bfc, so I won't bother with it, but I'm preventing others having it .. mwa-ha-ha!

Think I can see Adrien is about to settle on the south coast which will try to nab the Gem Mine from Canterbury. Whipped a double-promo Horse Archer (Dwight Gayle) in Canterbury & moved McArthur & Cabaye into position to support.

Adrian Mariappa (Spear) joins squad & fortifies Croydon.

Dwight Gayle (HA with +20% Str) moved to join Cabaye & McArthur overlooking Adrien's new city. So wish I'd been able to attack before he settled & no longer have odds. [So wish I'd decided on one of my Mali options instead of Babylon now] At least he's held off the Gems by my culture for now, and Selsey nabbed one of his Clams

OK, Currency can be completed in 1 turn @ 100% @ -178g/turn. 0% yields +16g/turn so with the 53g banked it'll take a total of 9 turns. However, at 10% tech it takes 6 turns @ -4g/turn .. that'll have to do.
