[SPOILERS] Giraflorens and Naufragar [UNCONFINED]

[giraflorens]

Welcome to everybody.

I beg your pardon for  the language.   I am Spanish speaking and I have some difficulties with English.

Special thanks to Mjmd for launching the game, and to Naufragar for Dedlurking a green/casual player as me.
Also to everybody that is participating in different ways (that includes you, who is reading this).

The game starts,
Move number 0:  What civ to choose?

As I am not used to play with humans, I am more confident with FIN and SPI.
a) FIN matches PHI, agricultural civs .... which I don't know what can they be besides Korea
b) SPI matches EXP, CRE, India, Inca... Inca is FIN so it's my first option,  Spanish also is SPI + EXP, but I'm tired of spaniards. And India with Gandy sounds good to me as a 2nd option.  A peaceful match.

I'll dedlurk you as well. I can't promise to be as active due to 2 civ 4 PB and one civ 6 PBEM. '

First comment ... we play with unrestricted leaders/civs so you can mix and match any leader to any civ.

Yes great!!!
You will help me much than I do in your Pitboss.

I am doing an Excel to see the best combinations.

You don't have to pick the real leader for each civ. You can have Inca without FIN or Spain without Isabella. In fact, Inca can't go with FIN because that would be 7 points, instead of 5. (Inca is worth 3 points. Any leader with FIN is 4 points at least.)

Do you have a favorite civ or a favorite leader trait? We can add points to your favorites until we get a good combination.

I like the SPI trait of Rameses, that with IND would make 4 points, and I could combined with Persia Civ (+1 of agriculture) . I like the Inmortals for early game.

That would be Rameses of Persia

What's your plan with Immortals? I haven't used chariots for anything except scouting in a long time. (Most people get Bronze Working/Spearmen as soon as possible.)

I played Ramses in PB43 and quite liked the SPI/IND combination. The flexibility from SPI is great, and IND boost to forge production is super powerful.

I like chariots to handle IA-Barbs, to scout, to move fast settlers.   But I haven't play with humans, so I don't know how it will be to handle Man-Barbs.
