T10.
Ok! Here we are! Turns out there was a fine spot had we decided to go with a religion, at the deer. Oh well. Still, other than that, everything else needs AH. That sets our opening in place now.
I'm gonna post in detail about openings either tonight or tomorrow, but essentially there were three options, each defined by which of the Capital BFC resources you hook first: Ivory-first into fast BW and a settler at size 1, which requires a Hunting/Mining start, Imp, and was chosen by "Scipio," reminiscent of his clever start in PB20; fish-first into settler at size 2, which was best for Pro but required a Fishing start, and was chosen by Haram, Fennbandit, and Dreylin (they grew last turn), and finally wheat-first into settler at size 3, which was chosen by the remaining 5 players, including us. By the way, I'm 99% sure that all players have mirrored starts due to there being consistent ties in the demos.
Our theme this game is The Blues. Our capital is named for the legendary Muddy Waters, known as Mister Blues, who invented the Chicago Blues sound, was one of the first blues musicians to play an electric guitar, and pretty much became synonymous with the blues itself.
(here's another version; you can barely hear the piano in this one, but instead you get some totally sick harp by James Cotton.)
