I started a deity game vs anarres. I'm Greece and he's Germany. In our open thread you can see that our start is quite the same.

I decided to move my worker to the BG tile in the east. Mainly because the west is so full of mountains. It reveals cattle, so I move my settler SE:

At turn 17 move first warrior meets the Romans and the Koreans. They are a couple of techs in front, but luckily they miss Writing. I started min science on Writing when I settled Athens.

At turn 52 I got Writing, only to find out that the Romans did it one turn before me

But at least Korea gives me two techs for it (warrior code, the wheel iirc). This allows me to see where to horsies are. Well, there is one horse south of me, close to Rome. So my next settler will start the race for it.

At turn 53 anarres shocks me: his warrior stands on the border of my empire

He lacks writing and the wheel, but has iron working. I will NOT trade with him yet. Philosophy is in 10 and I believe that I have a good shot at it. I won't let him profit of that! Luckily I can get a second warrior to my southern city quickly, so his warrior can't simply cause destruction. I won't send a hoplite

anarres told me that he has had disease twice already. I guess I have had more luck until now.
