Civ/leader pick

[Mist]

Every Team has it (So no WE monopoly)

Only Khmer can build WEs. See agreed pitboss settings.

Thank you Mist. And yes, I do believe we should go for one of our leaders now instead of Khemer. No Ivory @ Start, Every Team has it (So no WE monopoly) makes me think we should go w/ a different CIV.

We could keep the snake going by picking one of our leaders and grabbing the CIV on the backswing. LP?

Khmer is still the only civ allowed to build Elephants. No other civ is allowed to build Elephants. Thus, we will have the only Elephants, assuming we make it to Construction. (Correct?)

Here is the original post.


So we can expect it to be within roughly the same radius as Copper/Iron/Horses, i.e. not an unreasonable distance away. It seems fairly clear that this is what you originally meant, so I'm satisfied. Can you confirm that Darrell's post is incorrect?

Do we want to bank a large part of our game on that?

I say we should stick with it.

I can confirm Darrell's post as uneducated guesswork bordering on playful trolling And yes, you can expect the same radius as Iron/Copper/Horse

As much as we'd want to bank our game on having Horses as Egypt or Iron as Rome. I don't see anything to be gained from switching civs, unless Ivory will be placed at a considerably different radius than other early strategic resources.

That's good to know, thanks Mist.

Really I'm getting the feeling that it would be far easier to make all these picks with no map information. Oh well, maybe next time.

If it's being treated like Iron/Copper/Horses, I'm fine with rolling with it. Just figured we should hit the panic button in case that was, not the case.

Uh, so should we get the snake pick unpaused?
