T70 - The Seam
Got CS, revolted to Bureaucracy and Caste System. Maybe I should have waited for Organized Religion? Hm. It was 2 turns away. Well the save is sent so I have to live with it.
Woot!
An unguarded settler 
Overall view. Yea I went for the Mids. Representation would be good on this map. That unhappiness will go away next turn, it's from whipping.
About to settle some coastal cities. Pickle got the other stone spot, but hopefully he'll keep Open Borders with me.
Small Rock needs a defender. Right after the work boats I guess.
Discovered iron when the turn rolled. It'll change one of the city spots. Also I might want to get one city towards the middle where I have no X marked.

Quick makes GAs really awkward to time. You can only do 2 free switches if you switch on the first and last GA turns. Depends how widespread your religion is I suppose.
What do you feel the positions of players are?

T72 - Chariot Party
Sian's settler fled the scene  Greeline is trying next, his settler is going for the middle.
Settled a new city. I'm going for I think 4th settler in a row from the capital.
Here's the progress on the Pyramids. I have one forest left to chop.

Yeah.. I didn't realize that. I was hoping to switch a second time, but I can't. I've only gotten one free spread from my shrine. Very annoying!
It's hard to rank the players. I'll go for the cop out answer and say that I'm comfortable with the current situation.

T73 - End of an era
Demos before GA wears off. Already working on the next one.
Pickle canceled OB  I swear this never happens when other people get the Great Lighthouse.
Anyway I think all the trade routes I had with pickle got replaced by ones with Sian.
If I get the Pyramids, I'll convert to Representation + Organized Religion.
Greenline moved a Skirmisher and an Axe next to my border for no apparent reason. Hopefully he's not planning to do anything stupid.

Burn a turn on revolting you mean? Anyone braved planting the middle yet?

T74 - Tears Up!
We settled Daddy Longlegs. Next city will be towards the middle. Not necessarily the exact spot marked, but somewhere around there to grab silver and incense. I'll let the others fight over the marble.
Sian canceled OB This is the only game I've ever been part of where everyone cancels OB with the Great Lighthouse owner.
Still, we're making an extra 14 GPT out of it.
Tech-wise I finished some old techs: Poly, Mono, MC. I had a few options after that.
- Music route for a free artist for Golden Age purposes. Statue of Zeus would be a nice war deterrent.
- Education route for more science, but the tech is pretty expensive at this point of the game.
- Construction route for War Elephants and catapults. This is pretty short, just HBR and Construction which are cheap.
- Banking route for gold buildings, maces and knights.
Went with Music route for now but I'll think more about it.

The fewer there are the easier a trade embargo is really. It'll start hurting them too though!

T76 - Curse of the lost
Imagine that the screenshot is of a completed Pyramids world wonder. No, we didn't lose the race. I forgot to press the screenshot key.
This is after playing the previous turn 4 times over after some save file confusion. What am I even doing? 
Going to pop two borders this turn so I'm waiting till next turn to revolt to Representation and Organized Religion.
Two players built a shrine. Greeline immediately got a free Judaism spread to my city. My Shrine has only converted 1 city in 23 turns.

T77 - Never-ending Age
New plan: Wait two more turns, get a free Great Artist from Music, combine that with the Great Priest that spawns next turn in Mom's Knife, launch second Golden Age and revolt to Rep+OR for free.
Apart from that, I think next it's time to start thinking about defense. Other players might get jelly.

Nice work. Where to after music? Any more wonders?
