So, I take it you picked Catherine as the most Pyramids-independent choice?

Yeah, I don't think we need the Pyramids to win as Cathy.

Novice: Catherine (Cre/Imp) of Greece (Phalanx, Odeon, Fishing, Hunting)
Boldly: Louis XIV (Cre/Ind) of Zulu (Impi, Ikhanda, Agriculture, Hunting)
Dazed: Zara Yaqob (Cre/Org) of Sumeria (Vulture, Ziggurat, Agriculture, The Wheel)
Zackoti: Asoka (Spi/Org) of HRE (Landsknecht, Rathaus, Hunting, Mysticism)

Here's your fairly redundant starting screenshot:

One would think I hit the jackpot with my fishing pick, judging from the starting screenshot. But in fact, after moving the scout, it was my Imp trait that hit the jackpot:



This is Imp EZ mode.

My settler moved away from the coast, which meant the important decision for the turn was a naming scheme. I come up with the most amazing naming schemes when I'm forced to improvise...



I'm thinking big things. I'm taking suggestions for the capital name.

I also did the usual map C&D stuff to confirm that the map is 36x32 tiles and cylindrical. It's tilted, though, so it wraps in the north/south direction, and it's 36 tiles tall and 32 tiles wide. We're 8 tiles from the eastern edge. There are 644 land tiles and 508 water tiles, enough to circumnavigate. Since we were promised a brick layout I expect we'll have a neighbour 18 tiles to our north, one 16 tiles to our west and 9 tiles to our north, and one 16 tiles to our west and 9 tiles to our south. That's where I positioned them in the Sandbox, at least.

The password to our civ is athens.

As usual, Agri/Wheel would have been the best starting techs. Doh. At least you got nice unique things.

I'm planning not to be too involved with this game (at least for now) so I probably won't open any of the saves unless you ask me to. You can always chat with me anytime of course.

I love capitals like this one. The plains hill plant and the first ring 1/3 and 3/1 unimproved deer tiles mean an incredibly fast first worker, the 3/3/1 cow works really well with the 5/1/0 and 3/3/0 improved deer tiles (7 surplus food and 9 production at size 3!), six choppable forests (excluding the deer tiles) further speed things along, two grassland hills, one riverside, give additional production, and 7 riverside grassland tiles for cottaging means the capital won't fall off late game like many high production ones. Even most of the other tiles are situationally useful, not crappy like non-financial coast.

Some city name suggestions:

Space*
Panorama
Your Mom


*"Space is big. Really big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mindbogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space."

Douglas Adams?


As to naming schemes what about types of sheep?

That's cool, I won't add save forwarding to you then. I'm leaving you as part of the team in case I persuade you to sub for me some time, and to intimidate the other players.
