Lazy updates: met Dreylin and Mardrien. Circling Mardoc's land to meet Jowy. Got Grimace's map, asked for Dreylin and Mardrien's map. Continents are Dreylin/Grimace/Whosit and Jowy/Mardoc/Fenn. Will post something more comprehensive later if/when I get these map trades.
Built the Great Lighthouse. Commerce boost helpful, not game changing, but +18 commerce is something I'll take all day. Astro is going to be important on this map, so a minimal benefit for the GL. I doubt anyone would give me OBs, but when I do get alpha, I'll certainly try. Starting settlers for the marble island. I'm the only one with calendar as far as I can tell. Obviously want it for the MoM/Taj. Helpful that the island can only apparently be contested by Mardrien who is on 4 cities.
Feudalism in 2, IW next then...MC?. I suppose I could get very greedy and go to the top half for all the marble wonders, but don't see how that meaningfully helps me. I do have a lot of land to still expand into. Vassalage is only going to net me 5 or 6 coins in the short term, but will be nice when I build up my military. Turning perry (Yuris border city) into another military pump.

Time for a big city picture dump in addition to some bigger map pictures. Quick take: Jowy has almost 2x civ land and the Colossus. Not sure what the situation is on the ground, but it looks like Fenn needs to push against him otherwise Jowy will eventually overwhelm him.
As seen here, Jowy took a city from Mardoc, who lost his copper. Didn't look close enough to see if Mardrien has IW, but they're in trouble.
Whosit/Dreylin/Grimace continent seems peaceful. Whosit took a city from Dreylin it appears, but doesn't seem to be much going on over here. Dreylin is the only other player, as far as I can tell, that has a city on one of the big goodie islands.
I, for one, welcome our new Jowian overlords. Hail Jowy!
City dump time:
Other highlights: birthed a Great Prophet.  Didn't really care about GS vs GP, but was somewhat leaning GS. Oh well, I guess an 11 gold shrine isn't bad.
Feudalism next turn. Meh.
Don't think my expanded knowledge of the map will change much about what I want to do. Getting a land advantage is still key and the best way to do that is through a neighbor.

Last turn of GA, revolted into Vassalage/HR/Slavery. First one of these, followed by a few coming out of the gate eligible for G2.
Dreylin snaked the HG last turn, unfortunate waste of hammers into the aqueduct, but readjusting to build MoM in that city.
Iron is in an unfortunate location. Have to get a settler there soon, doesn't make sense to waste the 4 worker turns to hook it up.
Propping up Mardrien.
Grimace's power is high. Graphs next on Dreylin.

Machinery comes in soon and then a round of xbows to join the slowly growing mess of swords/lbs/cats. Forges finished in big hammer cities this turn, they are on military duty. Engineering after machinery, I think, because moving faster is good. Knights are also good, which is the competing possibility, but I don't even have HBR.
So Yuri looks like the target. His border city made 40% which made my border blocker city in the middle of the continent almost useless and stole my second spices. He has a grand total of one axe and one holkan there.
I am building the mids there mainly for fail gold as I'm getting 75% on hammers. Those 100 hammers into that damn aqueduct would have let me almost complete it by now. If I build it, great, if not, money has its uses:
Someone jacked up their GNP.
More money. This city was criminally ignored for infra projects and probably won't contribute to the war effort. It is the furthest from the front lines. It obviously needs a lighthouse, courthouse, and a market afterward. Or it continues to build settlers for continued island settlement.

Could be whipping more. The terrain is a mess, I wonder if that's what has held Jowy back. Jowy had a huge setback a few turns ago but captured a mardrien city this turn.
