Plan: Animal Husbandry->Bronze Working->Fishing->Pottery. Bronze Working comes in before the Worker finishes farming the Rice. Grow to Size 4, whip Settler T22, and complete Work Boat with overflow T24. One turn slower Settler than slow-building at Size 2, but completes the Work Boat and Warrior instead of half-completing them.

Good luck!

Title indicating a Daft Punk theme?

Naah, just whatever pops into my head. If I come up with one I'll just rename all my cities and chalk it up to 'regime change.'




Map is ~1212 tiles big. Now I just need a bigger screen to determine the dimensions...

You should do a theme of famous Sticks through history.

Predictions:
I will end up crashing my economy around the Writing era and find myself limping to Monotheism. I won't realize that hiring Scientists instead of working blank grassland cottages is a good idea. I won't research Horseback Riding and miss out on quick strike/flanking opportunities. I will build too few units, too few wonders, and too many useless economic buildings. I will overprioritize economy over expansion in the Medieval era and will end up with a tiny nation that will lose moving into the Renaissance. I will forget that Specialists even exist and not pop a single Great Person until around Liberalism. I will keep thinking that I'm a terrible civ player even though I'm probably better than I think.

Mardoc will win through Organized Expansive Sumeria pulling him through the early eras, especially Organized Lighthouses.

Why hello grassland Gold. 1W of Gold looks to be non-coastal. Now to see if there's any city spots worth settling that can share the Sheep.

I seem to be on a small strip of land. Everything to the east appears to be ocean.

Animal Husbandry came in:



Hello second city.

Note to self: save some of capital's forest to chop out Work Boats in the east.

Turns out that I can research Fishing before Bronze Working and still have Bronze Working in time for chopping, so I decided to do that to make growing on a Work Boat an option.

I'm still trying to nail out a micro plan. Current tentative plan is Worker-Worker-Settler, whipping the Worker at Size 3 and settling the second city T26. Doesn't seem like I can get much better than two cities and 2-3 Workers by T30.
