[SPOILERS] Gira under Pindicator's surveillance

[giraflorens]

T092

Currency is on. All the cities have two trade routes, and the gold yield per turn increase to 40 gpt. 
In Moscow the worker will be ready in 2t and after the market.  With the worker I will chop a forest and make a mine.
St Pete whipped the galley for 2 pop and I will build the market. Also a market is in project in Nogodorov when the chariot will be built.

I want to research Masonry now, for walls in the border cities. And I am doubting if going for Code of Laws or going for Aestetics-Literature-drama. Someone has already researched CoL, so Confucianism is already taken.  We could go for it and try Philosophy.

[pindicator]

Philosophy bulb is probably your best chance at a religion, if that's what you want. Keep in mind that getting your own religion is typically only worth it for a shrine and we would have to figure out how to get a Priest. It would be your 300 point Great Person, and a single priest specialist will only get you 7 GP pts/turn. That's 43 turns. Now a possibility to overcome that would be to build Angkor Wat, but without stone and it being a close map... I'm not sure that's a great idea.

It may be that the best plan would be to take advantage of our Marble, which would be going for Aesthetics-Lit line.

What are the power graphs looking like for our neighbors?

T093

Thanks Pindicator.  I agree with you.  The only reason that we could have for religion is the happiness.  Anyways I will go for Aesthetics (that nobody has researched).  And in 8-10 turns I could have a GScientist. What should I do with him?  Golden Age?  Put him in Moscow?

What do you think about city G (on the NWest, in the other continent)?  I am going to take the scout there to uncover those tiles.

Below all graphs:  research, demographics, WWonders, etc.
Miguelito has build the Pyramids. He has 9 cities, and his graphs are really good.  He seems to do very well with the economy, and now with the Pyramids he is not going to have happyness problems.
We go good in gold.  But we are short of soldiers. In three turns we will have the Silver ready, so the cities can grow a little bit more.  Happiness is been a ceiling for growing.
Mjmd has the GLH and the Religious Main Building.  But he is short in units and cities.

I see that most of they got Masonry, and next turn we will see about Construction.

I think I should have build Yakust on City S, I could have had the silver earlier and also I could profit the furs. In both cases I think these two are very bad locations. 
Sent a chariot to uncover tiles on the east. And a market is building in the 3 rich cities.

T095 & T096

The scout will uncover the tiles onthe North West.  I am still doubting about setting a city in CityG. Depends on what I find on Mjmd's hills.  In Rostov I am holding the settler until I see what is it there.

[pindicator]

G would be difficult to defend and you have to ask what it gets you. If you wanted to conquer mjmd then I think G could be useful as a launching point or even a way to distract Mjmd's forces while you invade elsewhere. But if you do not have any invasion plans then what does G get that you can't get elsewhere for easier?

T097

We got the silver. Another happy face. I build the settler in Rostov (whipped 2 pop) and I am still wondering where to settle.

So do you think that another city could go in the South, by the other Silver? Below is the main distribution of land. Also I would ask if it is worth to whip 3 pop for the markets.

[pindicator]

Yeah, definitely settle by the other silver. It will be worth it when you work the silver and crab, and later on can run specialists after you get the lighthouse.

We should scout out the gems area. Maybe we can put a city to claim that?

I just realized there are 2 City G signs. Which one are you referring to? I was talking about the one by Mjnd. The one by Miguelito is a lot more plausible

Yes t I was referring to the Mmjd City G.  He has a city on south of the Gems.  It will be difficult, I see no place to reach them with good food supply.  I will post a picture latter.  The other city G is between Miguelito, Elkad and Mr. Cairo.  Would be a very "middle" city.

I already have a settler ready and was hoping to make up my mind to send him.

[giraflorens]

T098

We uncover some more tiles on the NW.  The city Battlefield has a very good food resources and it is not on a hill.  It's a great temptation.

Anyways we send a new settler to the south by the silver. And next turn we can whip the market for 3 pop. Don't know if it is worth.
