Ok, looking quickly at it:

Demos:

Someone is still at size 1. Even if I account for settling a turn late (but we did start on the PH right?) a worker should be finished by EOT9. Still being at size 1 at EOT17 probably means that someone is going for a settler first approach.

BO:

I'd go for a workboat next. The warrior should finish with 2 overflow and if you put the 5th citizen on the furs, the workboat will finish EOT20. Little bit later than planned, but at that point we still have 9 turns to go till Hunting and that is enough to get a worker before it finishes. To be exact, the one cove should be a pirate harbor by then, providing a 3/1/6 tile. Together with 2x oasis, 1x deer, 1x furs you should get 11 foodhammers onto the worker per turn. Thats a 5 turn build. 1 turn to move onto the PH then, 2 turns for a road, 1 turn to move onto deer. When you move there, Hunting should finish, letting you improve the deer the turn afterwards.

Just have to think about if a second worker or the settler first is better. I personally would probably still go for the settler, but I can't say if that is better. I think so though because you need some time to get the settler into place and grow to size 2. And you don't need the worker for your capital right now.

Ok, gone with the WB next as agreed. Worried about how to escort any settler, still praying that griffon suicides on our tenticles

So that's how the reproductive organs of tentacles are called...

You have to check for yourself, but you should be able to go

workboat -> worker -> settler -> warrior

with the warrior being a 1-2 turn build, depending on the settler overflow (you'll get at least: 4 hammers via 2 pirate ports, 2 from city center+palace, 2 from deer, 2 from furs = 10. With 5 pop you should be able to get even 2 more, being 12, so you need an overflow of 3-5). If you can get it down to a 1-turn build, you can either wait a turn with the settler, move the old warrior out (need 5 overflow as you'll have one less happy citizen) or simply gamble. Don't think gambling is worth it though.

Or you simply build a warrior or two before the settler. Depends on your happy cap. If you can grow more, grow on warriors (after the worker though). If not, build the settler. Imo.

2nd cove is now down, and heading to a worker now. Have noticed the tenticles have 1 xp, so guessing they got the griffon, but with no combat log I can't be sure

Been poor with updates, but not much has happened, and have been away.

Will update a state of the nation next turn, but crafting in, mining up, deer camped worker on way to furs (1 turn late as I forgot its 2 move to go over oasis, hence messed up micro)

Ok, seems I suck at updating.

I actually took the below screenshots 3 days ago with the plan on posting an update but failed miserably.





The settler is now on his way to settle 1W of gems. City 3 I am thinking 1E, 1SE of furs.

[Serdoa]

Why 1W of the gems for the second city? 1SW gives you the possibility to use the deer for a quick setup of the city while the cap works oasis, oasis, 2 ports and fur. 1W also means you need a border pop for the wines which wouldn't be necessary when you settle 1SW, meaning you can save hammers for a monument and invest them in something more worthwhile. Warriors for example, which you sure (from the screenie) don't have enough of. Do you have a warrior to escort the settler? Because if not again settling 1SW is better as you don't need to put your settler next to a fogged tile fearing any kind of barb unit (even animals).

Sorry for not updating for my lurkers, last month has been crazy. Just paid turn 50, here is a screenshot dump
