ipecac meets his Waterloo [SPOILERS]

[GermanJoey]

Your sim:

http://media.rhizzone.net/civ/pb30.ipeca...wordWBSave

Notes:

1.) Your starting BFC is cut out of the save as if using a cookie-cutter.
2.) Strategic resources that are hidden from T0 (e.g. copper, iron, etc) are stripped out of this save file.
3.) The map dimensions in the sim are the same as the live game.
4.) Game settings in the sim reflect the game settings for the live game. If a setting is incorrect in the sim, please report it in the tech thread.
5.) The easiest way to change a civ to go into the worldbuilder on T0 and give yourself different starting techs. Changing a leader requires editing the save itself but is actually very simple; please ask if you don't know how to do this.

Thanks.

Henge is possible eot 43 chopping 4 forests while giving corn to 2nd city, if not earlier. Not sure if such an early attempt is /that/ worth it though.

The main obstacle with this start is commerce with the only source of extra commerce in the first 30 turns being pastures. Also timing sucks as I get AH 1 turn after first worker is built so I have to make a choice between pasturing sheep and farming dry corn. Ugh.

Joey, in the sim my river does not exist. If it's supposed to be in the game I can just edit it in.

[GermanJoey]

Oh, really? I wonder if that's just a bug with the extraction tool. Please just add it in yourself; the starting screenshot is accurate.

ipecac, these look the same to me... am I misunderstanding something?

My bad, the river was there at the start but disappeared when I was erasing the archers.

ok, good to hear!

Note to self: planting capital on sheep, and 2nd city 2S or S-SE of Corn gives trade routes without Sailing or road connection as there is a coastal connection within cultural borders.

One possible route:

Oh, that's novel!
