India with FW first (and BW first to make sure it has something to do). Who needs food anyway.

And finally the HRE. This one loses a worker turn because mining comes a turn too late.





Note that depending on what's in the three hidden tiles 2W of the cap there may be better paths. But with what we know so far I like India and Ottomans the most.

Sorry for the incomplete BFC information. I'm going to pin that on a novice mapmaker's oversight. Everybody had part of their BFC in fog and in the interest of giving complete information so you can make an informed choice, I've decided to just share what's in the fog.

There is a riverside grass rice located 2 tiles west of the settler.

I can get an updated screenshot for you when I get home from work tonight

FFS my steam account just got hacked again. This is definitely more serious than I thought.

Good luck with your account, interesting to see the time difference to arrive at an early settler, the typical strategy seems to be Worker into Settler right away and the delay for Spain is due to the workboat I assume?

I will have a look at the sandbox later tonight hopefully.

The time difference for Spain and for fishing first India is indeed the WB. For Spain it's WB->worker->warrior->settler, for fishing India it's warrior->WB->worker->settler, and for the rest it's worker->warrior->settler.

I'll update the sandboxes with the rice, and redo the sims. Thanks a lot Pindicator

The rice makes Spain Ottomans and India better. HRE is out (the only advantage of hunting was to get AH quicker, but now that we need agriculture for the purpose of this game the HRE starts with no tech).

True, sad the HRE is out as his Rathauses might have come in handy.

How do you calculate the maintenance cost for a small toroidal map?

How many cities do you think can we expand into before taking countermeasures?

I assume countermeasures in their order are:
- earn more by tiles
- earn more by trade
- earn more by buildings
- get to CoL and build courthouses
