As usual, I took too much time building extra engineers post refrigeration and it cost me famines when i had to abandon producing grasslands from hills too soon to get production up to 80+... Wound up with nearly 90 production and 4 of 6 engineers dead of famine and less trade than i could have had with all the farmland hills instead of farmland grasslands. I was 1 round too late to save the 3rd and could have saved the 4th by teraforming a plains instead of a hill early on. Having those 2 engineers would have saved me at least 2 turns on the spaceship, if nothing else than just to disband towards them, and i could have had a slightly higher income as well. I had to delay 1 structural by 1 turn simply because i needed something like 5 more gold. I suppose the long time it took to play the game also factored in, since even with the log, i didn't keep track of my thought processes as to when i wanted to do which things. Two interesting things i never really figured out were: why did we have that visible city-sized open area off to the north and why were we unable to build our own naval units? Anyway, maybe I'll get to start #17 or #18 this week. To the log: disappointed in just 1 settler...well means I'll have more engineers at some point - coal? guess I'll leave it - a lot more shields than buffalo - hmmm - an extra visible spot? probably not a mistake they did so beautifully for about 600 years, and now that the Aztecs have built the great library, they all turn their noses up at me and i only needed 5 more beakers to get a 1 turn advance ) to Zimbabwe
