I am so incredibly glad the specified settings have a low-mobility terrain set, because if two-movers could actually be used I honestly think I'd aim at completely crashing my economy after horseback riding and just stutter-strike between zero and -gpt while getting up to a thousand horse out of a hundred crappy little whip cities. That’s right, I would Vanilla Civ5 this sucker.

Alas, instead, I'm going to have to consider dumb things like “economy” and “not crashing said economy with a dozen cities before pottery”. This combo is going to be stupidly, absurdly hard to use perfectly but also impossible to completely screw up. So...that's a thing. Mardoc, whenever you want to post my pick, feel free, let's get the Oppo Eval underway!

I'm going to lend my expertise at making awful strategic decisions and getting utterly annihilated. (And you thought it was just the early game! )

I dunno, Xenu, T-Hawk really missed out not making the fish, silver, and gems tiles floodplains...

Must have been overkill. Anyway, map makers of the world unite, my defense of the start shows it is not, in fact, the most ridiculous start ever.
(But for an actual MP game, well, maybe! ![wink wink](https://www.realmsbeyond.net/forums/images/smilies/wink2.gif) )

FYI, per lurker feedback I'll be swapping your sugar and gems tiles. That change your pick?
