Another Day, Another Civ Found

  I met the first of the other Civs – the Byzantines.  Hopefully, we aren’t together on a small continent where her special naval units have the advantage.

  Pottery!  As soon as I complete the warrior, time for a shrine.

  First natural wonder discovered.  Unfortunately, it may not be close enough to get inside my countries borders.  We will see which way I start pushing out the new settlements.

  Second warrior is on the map.  Now I can really start exploring.  Started a Shrine instead of a Monument – my native bonus is more land acquired upon establishing a settlement than any other civ.  I need the religion first as I want to maximum latitude in select belief bonuses.

  I am indeed fortunate.  I have met 3 spiritual city states on the continent.  I was ‘first’ at two of them, and not ‘first’ at one.  I have 20 points toward a religion.  Only need 10 more.   I hope.

  Just met my second Civ foe, they are the Egyptians.  Fortunately, there is a fair amount of jungle between them and me.  Their horse archers should be less of a threat.

  Greeks identified.  I guess I barely beat them to Jerusalem.  

That's it for today!
