Spoiler: Robi's quest for spoilers

Here's the start. Not too bad.

The southern city has two clams and a silver, but can only use them when borders expand. Therefor, I have decided to go for mysticism first, so I can build a monument. Monuments are good, as I have the charismatic trait. (+1 happiness just like that and +1 happiness for a monument).

Obviously, I need agriculture and husbandry asap, as my capitol has corn and cow. There are only two players with mysticism at the start, so maybe I should head for the hindu tech first.

Went for a quick settlement of both cities. Should be interesting to watch your aggresive tendencies play out on a small map

Turn 10. I've just popped my 3rd hut. The first resulted in a barbarian warrior that found his death when attacking my warrior on a forest hill. The 2nd provided 31 gold. This time I hit the jackpot, by popping masonry (96 beakers).

So far, I have developed 121 science beakers. 60/60 for mysticism and 61/120 for hinduism/polytheism. According to F7, no religions have been founded. Furiey and Silent Confusin have started with mysticism. The only logical conclusion is that both did not head for buddhism/meditation which is only 96 beakers, and that both have not yet accumulated 120 beakers for polytheism. I did found two cities in turn 1, so I might be slightly ahead. Also, the 31 gold from the hut, allows me to go at 100% science, rather than 90%.

So, in hindsight, I should have picked mysticism => buddhism, and could even make that switch now.... However, since I popped masonry, I will simply go straight ahead towards monotheism/judaism (144) if I fail to get to hinduism (which is what I expect). This is somewhat of a setback for agriculture and husbandry, but as the chances to get to judaism first is close to 100%, I will defenitely go for it.

Further more, I have located furs, gold, stone, ivory and more cow in the vicinity

I was the first to poly, so hinduism is mine. No buddhism yet.....

And I have met BCLG. Actually, I have a warrior near next to his border. Not a word from him yet.....
I guess I will declare war and see if I can snatch a worker.

BCLG and I have a peace deal which can be cancelled anytime, with a 10 turn notice.

And I have just built Stonehenge.

Great prophet for the hindu shrine then, I guess? Good for the early economy.
