We need to check in religions screen whether Judaism is still unfounded in this and every subsequent turn we research Monotheism.

(just so we don't forget )

Opened the turn.
Happenings this turn:

- mine completed, Xian switched to total hammer production (stagnant growth), which is 12 base/turn, 16 next turn with forge.
- switched Beijing to 1 cottage/2mines setup for maximum investment in Oracle. So far Oracle goes by 5 turn plan.

Foreign:
- Bananas jumped in power >10 points. I guess 10 come from IW, but anyways they're on equal power with both GS and Vox, which means their military aint that small.
- GS and Vox power score now equal, which means that Vox is now numerically superior.
- No GS mfg goods increase, which means they aint recovering their military rapidly.
- Judaism still available
- We're being 4th in GNP (temporary setting while Oracle done) and first in Mfg goods with 38hammers/turn (second place - Sarantium, has 23).

Things to decide:
- scout has an excellent opportunity to peak at GS Western territories. I say let's give him that sidestep, he has all the time he needs to scout the coast, so why not reveal some about GS while the borders dont push too far.
- Axe - our settler gets delayed. Do we continue moving axe north? I'd say we let him stay in the middle where he is for a while.

Demographics:

The settler will take 3 turns to get to the settling spot, so we'll want the ax in xian when it's built.

[N35t0r]

Let's hope we fund Judaism in Tassagrad.

[N35t0r]

Oh, and to coasting GS's borders.

[binTravkin]

Let's hope we fund Judaism in Tassagrad.

Why so?
I'd rather have it (and shrine) in Beijing.

[Lacero]

we won't get it in Beijing, religions never get founded in capital cities unless theres no where else for them to go (by experience, not by looking at the code).

[binTravkin]

Well, still I'd rather hope it's in Beijing, then of course Tassagrad.

[Impaler[WrG]]

A Holy city in tassagrad would remove the necessity to put a culture building their which would be good. The Shrine advantages for a city aren't greatly diminished by having in in a non capitol and with the cities strong industry it can produce all the money multiplier buildings necessary to get maximum value from the tithe gold.

P.S. If it ends up in Tassagrad we simply must call the Religion "Tassisism" or perhaps "Tassadarism".

[binTravkin]

"Tassadarism"

I wanted it to be in Beijing because of added GPP.
Of course, by economic standards religion would best be founded in a commerce hub, which for us is Beijing and the upcoming fish-wheat city.

well fish + wheat makes me think of a certain miracle
we have delayed the settler so it can't be there

Putting all GPP in the same city isn't always the best, as you can only assing so may specialists there.

Having two or three cities with decent GPP production, you end up producing more GP, even if the first one takes longer than if you had only one, because you can assign more Specialists across three cities (three times as much) than in one city.

Well, but we can only produce decent GPP in one city - where National Epic is.

Also, we're not really the civ which should focus on specialists as we're financial requiring usage of city area (working cottages) for maximum effect.

We also don't happen to be in such a food rich place to have a lot of specialists, maybe with conquering of Bananas we'll have another GP farm, but Tassagrad aint the city which can support enough specialists to be GP farm, nor is Xian.
