I agree, China's the only one with a UU and stands the best chance all the way over there... Plus the frigging lake. LAKE.

No contest, IND civ goes there.
2-3
I think it may be prudent to have the PHI Civ build Sistine due to the proxmity of marble. Lots of possibilities and a good pick. Pretty good whip-production as well.

Another advantage of having india in the second position- that seems to be the middle position, in between the other 2 civs, so it's the best position to send workers over to the others.
And it has copper + coast, so colossus may be possible.

Kinda. I guess we should figure out where to settle everyone. I think Fin/Phi will want to settle immediately with one settler where they are at. IND civ will want to probably go for 1 NE or 2N1E and 2 SW.

China (first position) should definitely settle in place. Plains hill, iron, lots of flood plains, it's a great position. The only problem might be the unhealthiness from all those flood plains. The second settler can head northeast for that other wheat/flood plains.
India (second position) not sure about this one. I kinda like having one settler go North, northeast to settle on the coast, with bronze and corn. It could make the colossus super fast. The other one could go SW, SW to pick up 2x corn, rice, cows. And we'd get most of those forests.
Ottomans (third position): I think should be 1E to get all seafood resources and the plains hill. We'll probably want to share the seafood with other resources though. And it would be really nice to get a forest in the capital BFC for chopping a work boat.

Tough map to decide on settling positions. Here's what I did for China and Ottomans:

Not much food for that bottom Ottoman city, unfortunately. But it'll lead them close to India, and it'll be a decent worker/settler pump.

Let us start separate civ threads.

Nvm, I am dumb at this game you call civ.
I was wondering what your plan was with you being all the way out there.

I don't really have a plan right now. Hard to say without seeing more of the map. I'll probably just try to expand equally in all directions, with China.

Question, should we make a list of wonders we are planning on buildings?
We are locked in for Colossus and Sistine is a no-brainer basically for our win condition. Hagia is a likely target and of course about 3x Cathedrals, and Hermitage (so save room for it in the legendary/wonder whoring city).
I'd like to also throw in as a possibility, Chichan Itza before Knights.
Other possibilities would be Sankore and Spiral Minaret.
Additionally we'll need to pick up probably 2 more religions (Hopefully we can get Christianity to make it easier) which means getting Phil or Divine Right pretty quick.

Yeah- basically we want all of those, but basic infrastructure takes priority.
Since we're the only team with an IND civ, I'm guessing we won't have much competition for wonders.
