Now about my leader/civ. Well I kinda sucks to be honest. I can't remember for the life of me why I pick this.
Fast granaries, fast universities, better archers, weaker WE, bulbs. That is all I got.
Can I win with this? Sure, because lets be honest here in the end all this game is about luck.
I try to explain.
Imaging that I start surrounded by Plako, Serdoa and Bacchus. My odds of winning will be around 4%.
But if I start next to WilliandLP and Nakor, then my odds will be 50 %.
Last if I start next to Jowy and Azza my odds will be 60%
Now imaging this. Commodore, Pindicooter and Plako all are neighbors and Serdoa is neighbor of Jowy and Azza. Who do you think will win that game? Serdoa will just eat Jowy and Azza while the others keep each others at the same level.
See? The most important thing is who are you neighbors. The second most important thing is your location in the map. In a cylindrical map if you start in the center you are kinda scrub, because you are surrounded by enemies. In the other hand If you start in a "corner" you will have one of two enemies and a safe back line. The third thing you need is a good ability to read the game and play making almost no mistakes. Fourth you need a good starting location for your capital. And the last thing the matters is your leader/civ.
