Just a small update. I have a settler being built for my third city.
I'm still looking for a sea route to someone, i keep running into oceans. Compass will be done soon then i'll go along the writing-alpha branch

Another quick update. My Galley finally seems to have found a sea route that might take me to someone else. Along the way its found a larger island with sheep which look like a good spot for a city.

The settler is finished and on his way to found my 3rd city.

This is maddening, i ran into another dead end of ocean, so it looks like for now i'm cut off from the rest of the world. I managed to build Stonehenge so i can now see i'm in the top righthand corner of the map. I might have to wait until Caravels before i explore some more. On the home front things are going along nicely, i have plans for 2 more cities and i'm building some infrastruxture so my cities can support larger populations.

After a bit of a break due to ID's computer breaking down we are back up and running. The plan at the moment is to build the Oracle, I've timed it so its done the same turn as MC is researched that way i can get Machinary right away which leaves me to do Optics and get Caravels.

The break in play let me finish my SP game with identical setting which reveled some interesting things.

Because of the unusal setting only 2 victories are possible, Time and Conquest.

With the lack of land science is snail pace, i was just getting Riflemen at 2050 and that was with some tech trades so Space is impossible. Domination is out, there isn't enough gold generated to pay for cities which are further apart then usual. Culture, lack of gold and not enough production to build the wonders in 3 cities and diplomatic we wont even get to Mass Media.

A time victory leaves things down to a bit of luck, and a conquest, due to low production mean i need to be build troops up a long time before any invasion. I think a conquest is the best option because even if i don't quite get there i would have hurt the others enough to win time.

The other interesting thing is the AI doesn't like to expand too much, they only built 3 or 4 cities for the whole game despite lots of empty islands with resources

Play has been a little slow but its picking up again.
I'll have MC in 4 and the Oracle in 5 so fingers crossed i can use it to get Machinary and get caravels quicker.
I also discovered an island to my NW with crabs and copper which will help the production side of things. My main focus is getting some units built and going out and finding the others

And a closer view of my island chain nation
