Zara of Spain, Zara of Spain, it's important not to forget Zara of Spain....

So, these are my surroundings:



Tentative city sites are in red.

This night I had a dream about performing well in this game, but not managing to win. We'll see whether it will turn out to have been prophetic, or not.

[GreyWolf]

Okay, now I see the true scale of benefits thrown at me by the mapmakers. "Koppah" everywhere, including right next to my capital! (I switched the warrior produced in the capital to a worker before hitting enter)

[GreyWolf]

And yeah, that's a Monument in Barcelona. Just remembered that I'm CRE.

Turn 82, my capital. The farm at the Bananas SW was pillaged by a Barb warrior, that's why there's a farm S, but not SW. It's unhappy, which is not exactly good. It would take me more turns to reach Monarchy then Calendar, so I research on the path to the latter. Good thing Buddhism had spread to my lands recently.



Converted immediately, of course.

The lands around Cordoba are so desolate. This city isn't good for anything long-term, might as well build a library. I don't care that I orphaned the clams to the East, since I like the location of Seville (there're also Horses 2S of the city), but orphaning the clams next to Barcelona sucks.



I've decided on a theme right now. I am studying Spanish/Castillian, so I'll use irregular Spanish verbs as city names. This is going to be pretty thematic, I think.

[spacetyrantxenu]

You haven't orphaned the clams, you can still settle a city for them 3N of Seville.

[GreyWolf]

Ah, yeah. Not that I would want to do it in the near future.

Hate to bring this up but the Great Lighthouse is banned in this game.
