We are 17 turns in, and the starting civilizations have grown quite well! Here is how I would rank everyone.

1. The Jotun Oligarchy
They are the uncontested 1st civilization in my opinion. Despite having only 26 Research Points, they have the highest population with 14 Giant Workers! Their food source is also pretty secure, they are able to feed their whole population with only 3 Workers (Greenthumb+Artifact included)!

2a. Cait Sith 35 Research Points and 10 Workers.
2b. Orassan Empire 30 Research Points and 10 Workers.
These two civilizations benefit from isolation, and they both have their own advantages over the other.
On one hand the Cait Siths sport a fast research speed which will turn them into a very strong civilization in the close future, especially since they are focusing solely on magic.
The Orassan though have a bountiful basket which allows them to sustain their population with only 3 Workers and focus more resources on research and construction.

3. The Xekarni 34 Research Points, 9 Workers and 1 Legendary Spear Warrior.
In my opinion, the Xekarni are the uncontested strongest civilization military-wise. They received great blessings from the Gods, and unlocked several combat-oriented technologies. But the People still have the Legendary Champion Warrior with two Artifacts, and depending on the future clashes, the Xekarni could lose their spot. But if they were to win, then nothing would stop them from draining the People and the Dipnoi from their resources, thus highly like earning the 2nd spot.

4a. Dipnoi Republic 35 Research Points and 11 Workers.
4b. The People 30 Research Points, 7 Workers and 1 Legendary Champion Warrior with Artifacts.
Unlike the Jotun and the Orassan, these two civs need to deploy 5 to 6 Workers to sustain their population, which limits their growth.
If the People hadn't been raided, they would be tied with the Xekarni. If they don't lose their Champion, and depending on the future battles with the Xekarni, they could either take 3rd place or even 2nd place. If they lose their Champion, recovery will be impossible on their own.
It's also amusing to think that the Tame Giant Anaconda of the Dipnoi ended up being a food draining freeloader, at least for now.

5. The rest
The Merfolk Council 7 Research Points and 9 Workers.
Hidden Monastery newcomers!
The two most recent civs!

Nagas didn't know you have to train snakes! Snakes always just do whatever Nagas wants without question!

Interesting(and fun!),

Cait Sith
GM, can a philosopher also be an apprentice? Same question as with the writer, can they be an apprentice too?
Philosophers can do nothing except argue about philosophy.  I will allow writer apprentices.

Honestly I think my position is a little bit precarious. It only takes one angry god to completely wreck a tile after all, though I am starting to diversify. So far the majority of the gods like me or at least tolerate me because I tend to generate a lot of passive FP, or at the very least tolerate me with a preference for helping other civs. Being singled out as #1 by the GM puts a bit more pressure on me, but probably no more than the Nirii Dominion from my game.

With what is soon to be a Giant Orchard worth 20 labor and 5 acts, it wouldn't be too hard for a god to threaten me. Though all the passive FP I generate for multiple different gods is probably acting as a deterrent.

Orassan Empire

3 workers use research wooden structures
3 workers forage for wood

Ocra, you need to specify where you gather wood or it does nothing.
Mabel
make B4 a Taiga.

You're the chosen people of Farsky, one of the peoples of Mabel, and on good terms with Blarg, Nagas, Holo, Amastay, and Izzith.
You have so much divine protection it's silly.

Izzith isn't getting all that much out of me. I should probably get around to ranching those mammoths sooner rather than later. I'm not sure why Blarg would like me though. I don't think I ever generated any FP for Blarg even once. Though its not my fault I don't have a swamp.

Actually, I declared them one of my Chosen People too. Although that might be diluted since I have three Chosen People at this point and am angling for a fourth, and being a Chosen of Nagas only gets you snakes, so it might be a wash.

Because Blarg is a nice guy? As far as I can tell he likes everybody.

Harnessing the fourteen FP that built up Farsky starts a project to make a location filled with stones imbued with powerful magic (handing what these do over to you GM, sorry I haven't been active, I have been on a boat for a few days.)

Holo creates an artifact: Giant-sized Flint Sickle of Harvesting, and gifts it to the Jotun Oligarchy! It has the ability to turn a bad harvest into a good one. Be careful! Using it too often will weaken the soil.

I decided not to make your project since I don't want to "fill in the blanks" for players when they make stuff.  If you are on vacation, that is fine.  I will not remove Farsky while you're on vacation.  I just don't want to have to go through and update FP totals and keep an eye on the aspects of gods who have apparently stopped playing.
