Do we want to try for the Great Library?

I didn't know about that bug. Does it mean that all PBEM games are on Chieften? I don't think that's true, but I tried it with the Legoland SAV and we can really have 3 content citizens without anything. So we can have the poll and I'll vote for "start wonder immediately".

Btw I don't mean to pour on your parade guys but in one of my PBEM games someone built the Great Library in 550BC. That's 65 turns from now, and more than 6 shield/turn average. He had 1 cow and 2 bonus grass and 2 plain vanilla forrests next to the city, so nothing really special. And that's without a Great Leader.

Well, sure, the Great Library in 550BC... But every game is different. Currently, no other team has more than 3 cities (we are listed as #1 for area in the demographics screen). With Panama, we will have four, the settler from Jackson will/would found the fifth one. That puts us effectively one whole city ahead of others. One city we'll be able to set aside for building a wonder. So even if we waive Jackson for REX purposes (which kinda hurts), we should still at least match others as far as REXing is considered, while building a wonder. That's what makes us feel strong and that's what makes us believe others most probably don't consider wonder building this early.
