re the Luxury slider.

I would like to leave it at 20% for this turn (1 gold).

If the barb attacks and gets lucky, the slider would prevent us from going into disorder and save us a turn of production (much more than 1 gold).

We are 32 beakers to WC.

We currently have 6 total com. 7 in 2 turns.

5+6+6+6+6+6+3=32
6+6+6+6+6+6+2=32

No difference in time to research, unless we sacrifice food and production for a coastal tile.

Well, well. Another continent to the west, and GCA seems to be south of us (that is a GCA border, isn't it?).

We should be able to sneak through their cities' gap with W'BigFree, but I'm not sure that would be a wise move diplomatically.

We've got a problem if that barb near Poly moves south, which seems quite likely to me..! How to protect the worker then ..? Also, the improvements will suffer.

The eastern peninsula seems to end there.

I may be going out on a limb here, but I'll bet that the GCA city South of WBigFree sits on top of a landbridge that connects to the landmass West of WBigFree. We might not be able to get through GCA's cultural boundaries without violating the NAP, they know this and think we may do so anyways, hence they are delaying the Tech deal. I think we have 19 more turns left on the NAP with CDG; maybe we can bring WBigFree back home when the current NAP ends with CDG and we make a new one that includes WBigFree going through their territory to get back North of CDG. Until then we explore as much as we can between these two Civ's.
