25 -

I pop a settler from a hut but it's about 30 tiles from home!

27 - Get The Wheel from a hut

Rome will make peace now, but since there are 2 more warriors approaching (to join the archer) I will let them die first, before making peace to get a better deal.

29 - The Roman reinforcemets have arrived. The AI will attack with 2 warriors and an archer at the end of this turn. I still have 3 spearmen dedfending (2 reg, 1 vet).

AI - Rome has lost a warrior, have lost a spearman.

30 - Build archer. Kill the other warrior, just a Roman archer left now. Make peace with Rome and get Iron Working and 8 gold from the deal.

Change London to a settler.

31 - Meet jack merchant! (India). Sell Iron Working for Mysticism and 100 gold. I get 50 gold next turn, then in 4 turns when he has researched Mysticism (and sold it around) I will get that, and 10 gold per turn for 5 turns.

32 - Get Mysticism from a hut!! Whoops.

33 - Sell China Ceremonial Burial for 44 gold. They have 6 gold left. When jack merchant gets Mysticism next turn the most he can get is a tech or two, none of them have mmoney.

38 - Found York:
