Im... going the riskier route of tech. (i think) I "could" get alphabet and use good ol' build research to get to currency and from there win. BUT.. lots of people go the Math line and its nice to get the KTB from that.. along with forests that still need chopped. Also, sadly even in a no-tech trading game alphabet still reveals your techs which i personally dislike. Don't really want my neighbor(s) to know when i grab HBR and get ready to sweep JackRB.
So, Math-run scientists/ect to somehow get to currency-code of laws-masonry-hbr-archery and.... gg? If i can manage that before Jack gets catapults/elephants or another neighbor decides to wreck my game, i think im pretty well set.
Thoughts? Questions? Memes?

What's your rough estimated time to tech Math through Archery as planned?

Well, without knowing what kinda economy ill be running when i DO get currency im going to guess... "roughly" 30t from now. Probably less, with the vast majority of that time being GETTING to currency/code of laws. If i can get currency and some god damn courthouses down... ill be a monster.
t140 ill destroy JackRB. That i vowww

God. Damnit. Cornflakes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He is the only one with Currency, and basically the only one that could have a prophet this early other than myself. So, im forgetting religion this game, and pumped scientists into the breeding pool. If i get one, i get an academy(low chance with sooo much prophet genes) Otherwise i pop a GA and tech like a madman to currency. 2nd GP i get will be a scientist and will plop an academy down in Red.

Ah, some wealth builds would do WONDERS for this. Im still coasting along with basically no standing army outside of what i have guarding my horses/area. Im going into this game with the thought process of: All land, no navy. I will not attempt to compete with those that have established island cities/navies but i will take all their mainland cities and win that way. Is it the smartest thing to do? Probably not. But, i look at it as i really didnt have a choice on settling any island cities that were worth a shit anyway, due to jackRB settling asshole border cities that claim any/all non-stone resources from my island(s) and as such, i dont want to overextend and grab center islands. Ill eventually have enough coastal cities to pump out a navy to finish someone off, but i dont want to worry about protecting island cities while i conquer land. Plus, i think there are enough willing open borders candidates to keep my pockets full.
Ill update next when i hit my GA/stride. Here's hoping i turn out decently on Charrius t100 report. Im betting Cornflakes and Ginger will be top 2 tho.

This should be enough to get me to currency and probably most of the way into Code of Laws. (with wealth builds) Currency will allow me to settle the other 6-8 cities that im wanting.

Look what this goofy dude is doing. I can only assume he is going to plant either on the hill, or 1W of the current location. But who knows.
I am debating whether i hit Jack at HA's or rush to knights. I will check back on this idea/plan when i see how my economy looks with a bunch of currency/courthouses.

Currency is secured. I have room for 8 more cities by myself, and will be holding off on invasion of JackRB. Knights will be my tech of choice to eliminate him.
