So in the end you took Shaka of Zulu, but you could have ended up with Louis of France... hmmm..

Did anyone tell you guys the unrestricted leaders option was on? Maybe you all didn't get the memo jive

Wait, what? We got robbed!!!!

Seriously though if we had taken Louis I don't think we'd have taken Zulu or France - but both those civs meshed well with the Agg trait

come on - where are the screen shots?
I have finally decided to put down some cash and register a website. It is www.ruffhi.com. Now I remain free to move the hosting options without having to change the name of the site.

why is that stopping you - haven't you created a test case of your start?

Okay so a few thoughts.

First, build. I believe that plains deer is on a hill. That makes it 1/3/0. So we can
a) Build a warrior in 3 turns at 5hpt
b) Build a worker in 9 turns at 7 f-hpt, counting our plains hill and expansive worker bonus.

What's the definition of double move rules - how long would it take us to react to a warrior heading our way? We could always put 1 turn into a warrior and then count on us being able to get 2 turns of production in before someone sacked our capital.

Tech wise:
a) Animal Husbandry. That's probably the obvious move, given the cows. Though since we start with Hunting (yay! lol), our worker will be busy for awhile camping the 2 deers. I'd say it's unlikely that anyone has horses in the BFC, which would be a downside to researching AH out of the gate.
b) Mining->BW. With the idea of getting some impis out early.
c) Wheel?
d) With only one civ that starts with Mysticism, I'd say we have pretty good odds at a religion if we went Myst-Poly. Seems like smoke to me but it's an option. We could potentially get an early religion later a la PB2 (hopefully without the super-aggressive 2nd city though lol!

At least you can have impis this time. Assuming I gave you copper or iron.
