Krill - PBEM5B - Return of the King!

So...regoarrarr and Darrell got me thinking: what easy 1v1 game could we play that would be an interesting alternative to small archi. Well, there is one simple answer to that:

A huge all land expansion game. Still with a space win though.

And who better to lead us on an uber expansion game than Joao of the Incans?

So, here we are, me and Cyneheard trying to play the ultimate REX game. Always Peace, No barbs, No Tech Trading, No vassals, No Events, Noble for easy growth, and a couple of custom edits: no metal pops, no WLTKD, no tech bonus from other civs, and NO WORLD WONDERS!

This will be a straight up game involving no in game luck, just pure number crunching and proper old school city spamming. And the really nice bit, to force us to expand?

Our lands are connected, if one does not expand, they will have to get to space on inferior land quantity. But expand too fast, and lose valuable turns in the race.

It is going to be a very fun game. And thanks to T-hawk for checking the map over for use

Once Photo bucket comes up I'll post a screenshot of the land.

Edit: Are you both Incan Joao?

[Krill]

In this instance, I fear that you are correct...

Here is my capital turn one. Idecided to settle in place, because I could do with the extra food from the lakes later on. Turns out Cyneheard settled 1SW for the extra chops; I'll be getting those chops anyway, considering that the third build I'm going to finish a settler for them. I toyed with the idea of going for Pottery, then went with Mining with the option of BW - slavey is the name of this game.

I'm currently heading for BW.The worker is going to irrigate 1N ofhte corn for a turn and cancel. he will then irrigate the corn. The capital will be building a second worker until the corn is irrrigated, then will grow to size 2 and slave out the second worker. With 2 workers I will then concurrently chop out a settler for the flood plains to the south. Chop out a Terrace, and just work cottages to slave.
