Fredrick of Egypt is the What Would Mackoti Do pick. But easy and simple can be good; better, for a cloud-head.

Well to comment on the picks. I found it pretty hard to balance the random.

Basically, Hannibal of France is a much better combo but I think I can make Charlie viable.
Plus, this is like my one chance to play around with India.

Growth is also paramount; citizens need to be at happy cap and working improved tiles every moment that is feasible.

The choice is certainly interesting. I lol'd when I first saw the list, that was the one combo on the list that stood out as abnormal. As in, no way is someone taking Charle--OH. It's attached to India. Um....well, leave it in, maybe someone will want it. Looking forward to seeing fast workers in action, it's been a while.

Well, I normally think of chopping as being bad with quick speed... but maybe with Imp and Fast Workers its worth it again?? Looking forward to seeing what you can do!
