With +7 it is better if I conquer the CS and cede them to you.

Turn 13

State workforce inspiration is in, check to see what bonus you get, or does that only apply after I would research it? 

Northern scout does not find the city state, however that injured scout by your borders is a good sign of city state up north I think.

In the south

Looks like after I found 'wonder' city that it will auto grab the wine so I should only have to buy one tile for the larva.

Finally my capital, which I am still having trouble coming up with a naming scheme.

Working max food until size 4. Then was going to push production to get builder, another military unit and possible shrine. I started on a monument like we talked about. 

Still need more scouting I think before we finalize any more city locations. If you would like the dot by the lake that should still be fine. 

Yes the +7 vs city state's is nice. I was just not sure if when a city is gifted if my Russian Passive kicks in and I get all of those border pops. When I get some time I want to test this in a hot seat game, but that could mean every time you found a city if you gift it to me then I gift it back you get the border pop. Just something to think about, might allow you to settle differently.

Monument is not a good idea, a builder would make more sense to get production up imo.

Back on the 6th you said to build a monument, now a builder? At the moment my builder can not do much to up production. I can put a farm down and a camp on the ivory. 

It is my turn now should I swap back?

Enhance the stone with mining, hmmm, I see what you mean. I actually would go with a shrine over a monument, we need to press for a prophet and if we get choral music that shrine is better then a monument.

Damn wish I would have read this sooner,

Well turn 14 I switched to a builder. Growth to size 4 in 4 turns so it should not take long  to finish. Then a shrine. Found CS borders in the north

I was planning on moving closer. If it is religious I would like first contact, if not then I think you should get it if i don't run into a scout in between turns. Also I ran God King for the extra faith, did not want to risk loosing Divine Spark if I can. Last but not least we are in first place at the moment.

You are missing worker techs atm that is right. I think shrine is the way to go here.

Good call on God King.

No screenie atm.

Agree on the CS. Check out which one it is.

My warrior is running back SW to escort my settler and help protect the bought settler of yours and take care of your camp.

I think Wine by Lake Dot is the best city site for my 2nd.

And you get an excellent deer camp in the 3rd ring and probably need not buy the lavra tile (remember our money is burned on your settler.)

I will switch to shrine at least I only put hammers into my next builds, I still would like at least one early monument to keep ahead in the culture run even with coral music. I am working on foreign trade I think you will get me state work force inspiration. I may even get that myself after the shrine.

I still don't know where you are thinking I should place my second city? I will double check when I get the save.

Monument is imo a waste of time especially very early on, check Cornflakes Duel for more info on that.
State Work Force should be inspired already by your lavra.
