moving along to turn 30 now.
Land is nice, settler pump up and going. I have 2 workers, 2 warriors, and 1 dingy right now. Building a settler and a warrior. Utica will be very productive (cow +4BG with expansion). My next town will grab the Silks, then the 4th will be on the coast near the fish or down to the SE along the river. Looks like an early war with Spain will be necessary. Too bad I don't have anything to fight with.
Met the Vikings a few turns ago, and they went ahead and research Writing
Looks like the AI is doing unusual research here, because they were still down Wheel and CB. Oh well. Not sure what to research after Writing, perhaps Lit and then give it to Spain and Vikings, hoping 1 of them builds GLib?
