GOTM9 - 4000 BC - Thebes, Queen of Cities

4000 BC
Thebes

We found our new capital, Thebes. Despite the lack of a river, we do have a fresh water lake (The Nile), cattle and several grassland with shields. A very promising start.

4000 BC
Science

Playing with the science slider shows that it will take 40 turns to discover alphabet, no matter whether the slider is set to 20% or 100%. If the science is set to 0% or 10%, no science is discovered, ever. We set science to 20% and set the rest to money.
