2 players have to pick their leaders and then all civilizations. Sury is the best leader not picked so I think one player will pick him. I hope the other player does not pick Bismarck.
For country, my first choice is Egypt but that will be picked. I don't know really. The difference between the civilizations is not big like the leaders. I was happy to get first pick as my leader is really strong. My plan for now is to oracle metal casting and build colossus. With a quarter of the map as water and financial and noble difficulty, I can expand a lot and easily pay for it. Use whip to get some defenders in my city. Maybe Babylon could be a good choice for good technologies and deterrant. I will see what is left.
B4ndit picked Darius. Not a good pick on noble difficulty. Twinkle toes will pick Sury unless he's retarded. Sury of Maya maybe. Then B4ndit picks Egpyt. He might pick HRE which would also not make sense to me. China seems popular here so maybe someone picks them.
Can anyone suggest a good website to show screenshots?
My start is nice. I founded in place on a plains hill with a lake seafood, grass wheat and a plains gems. That gems will be very nice later for bureaucracy but is admiral ackbar otherwise. I plan to expand and expand and expand and expand. It is a good plan. I hjave no idea for naming themes so if anyone has an idea, let me know.
Dropbox works really well for screenshots. This archives of this forum are sadly littered with screwed up pictures from other services, but all the dropbox ones are still here and the same size, as far as I know. The only drawback of using dropbox is that then you have less free dropbox space for other things, I guess.
Link to sign up (if you sign up through this, I think I get some extra free space on my account): https://www.dropbox.com/referrals/NTExMT...rc=global9 Alternate link to sign up (in case you don't want to follow the recommendation of someone who will benefit from your signup): https://www.dropbox.com/ After making the account I recommend making a public folder. (This is a feature they used to enable by default, but now you have to activate it.) I am not sure, but I think it's more convenient than not using one. To do that, go here after setting it up: https://www.dropbox.com/enable_public_folder Then you can drag screenshots into your public folder, or a folder inside it. Right click on the file and choose "copy public link" to get the link. For further images you can just use the same url from before but change the last part (the file name). For example here are a couple of screenshots from a game I played. I only had to "copy public link" once and then I just used copy/paste in the browser for the others.
There is a plains oasis in that picture. That is a really nice tile which requires zero worker investment. A very sound choice for an early city. I intend to scout towards it next turn to take advantage.
It is possibly an error though so please consider this me reporting it. If I should not take advantage, then tell me so I do not break any rules. I do not want to be shady but lawful even. My opening play is to research bronze working the fish and crafting a workboat. I will whip this out early as I can and overflow hammers for the worker. Agriculture and worker should complete at the same time allowing the worker to begin farming. Build a warrior and grow to size 2. At size 2 build a settler. If the sheep and clams site, then worker chops the forest between capital and gems after farming to free up a movement point for settler and provide more hammers for next worker before mining gems. Capital can produce another worker before building a warrior/granary to size 4 then whip out a settler. This is with suitable land to expand to. |
