6 turns of peace and Maya demand 20g (= whole treasury) tribute! Grrr. I don't risk anything and pay. Good thing at least there was no deficit spending then.
55:
To my surprise, Mongols are #1 in pop and MFG while land coverage sucks. Strange, but things don't seem as shitty as I thought.
56:
Colossus completed by Dutch.
Further mm-ing/F11 MFG investigation shows that *someone* produces 20spt.

1 settler arrived at the northern likewise bottleneck (see pic post#4); I will settle the gold hill next turn and could fully block possible French trespassing in ~10 turns (additional units needed).
Pity I will likely not succeed reaching/blocking the southern bottleneck in time (area near former Ta-tu).
Meanwhile I hope some wandering French and Mayan warriors take out some barb camps thretening Mongolia.
Killer's city of Medina is in the top5; so some portion of the ~80(!)-points score gap between us may be explained by border expansions.
