After the ending the turn, I distinctly remember that I could 1 turn philosophy so I am going from drama and music in the next two turns. Then 2 turns of gold saving and finish paper + philosophy 2 turns each? Or just even close enough that I can finish research on both with scientists from Sparta while I save gold for next burst of research. Not even sure if I can win lib since ipecac is working a lot of scientists from what I can see in the CY drop. No way I can win lib against 2 GS bulb off education. Maybe I can win if I forget about music but really don't want either yuris or DZ to grab the GArtist since I could use it for the 2nd GA.
My unit expenses are 30gpt but need more spears so I dont lose a city to something like 20HA in the dark.

Since ipecac can only see what research I completed, not the progress, I can try to hoodwink him. During the GA build up research on paper and philosophy but don't complete them, leaving only a few short. When I turn on research, I should be able to 1 turn philosophy, paper, and edu with GS bulb. Should only need 4 more turns to get liberalism afterwards, or 3 if I can somehow get my civ to produce 385b by then.

Planned builds for rest of golden age, which has 7 turns left.
Capital: All HA
Sparta: Should get religion next turn and build the GLib. Next turn chop both trees and finish the mine so on first turn of the build, it has 80 raw hammers converted to 200h. 150h left to finish. While in caste, take the citizens off the 4 mines and the plains town and work 7 scientists total. Have one citizen take the copper from the capital for 17h per turn for 85h total during caste turns. On last turn of GA, give back the copper but work the plains cow and the plains cottage 2S to get 26*2.5=65h exact to finish the build
Corinth: Missionaries
Thebes: Build pantheon. Need to work an engineer for 1 turn.
Argos: Need to grow. Work on forge when it doesnt need to build wealth. 2nd missionary will likely head this way
Knossos: Monument, Stables, then theater with OR. 4th missionary might go here.
Mycenae: Finish ToA in 2 turns then monument, theater with OR, monastery, then spears? 3rd missionary spot.
3 filler cities: Likely build forges while in caste.

Completely blanked that I need to build a market in Knossos (aka moai city). I need to send the 2nd missionary I just made here actually. So it will be monument w/o OR, theater with OR, then 4 turns to build a market with OR, then stable with 1t in GA.

I am too tired to post pictures but ipecac withdrew his HA from the borders, which scare me to no end. Also realized that his chariots have sentry already. What a good idea. Maybe I should give at least 2 of my HAs that also.
In addition, he finished paper this turn but his GA is already over. Looks like he is no longer starving his people either.
Yuris put a huge 2 mover stack on his iron with 4 workers. Maybe he really don't want me to take those workers? He also just started his GA and adopted bureaucracy.
DZ is starting to quarry his marble. I guess he is heading to the music path also? I should try to research alphabet maybe during the GA.
Probably should cut missionaries to only the core cities and have corinth build more military...

This liberalism race will be close I think. Ipecac just got another GS. Now I am giving him 15 turns till he gets it assuming he is also getting a 2nd GS to bulb philosphy and education.
My plan is gold next turn. Spend 4 turns putting beakers into Philosophy and paper, maybe coming up with 100 gold left. GA ends. Then put 2 turns of gold builds and 6 turns of research to get lib. 5+8 = 13 turns. Will this work?

ipecac just double bulbed education. I think he should have cleared philosophy first to waste less beakers...
DZ has xbows. Feel like I will be behind militarily soon even though HA and cats have some good shelf-life.
