lets see the start.

I think Ginghis of zulu is extremely unfair(70% reduced costs, agg impi,bonus with maintenace right from beggining), is like playing with pacal of inca in Bts, and we the other best combo which we got is maybe mehmed of china, very unfair.And i bet they got grain resource and loads of riverisde tiles so they can be happy.

And there I am forced to play a crapy combo(what i have best 25% prod on boats) with a nighmare start, Am I that good compared with TBS that i aford to play with severe handicap?Ceil why you didnt excluded that leader and civ combo?

And more than that i think i see a tundra tile , so there you go I am the pole as well.I think i will widraw from the game.

You know, Ceil said he rolled over a hundred maps to have it balanced, I guess it can't be so bad

[Ceiliazul]

Mack, you have no start handicap, I promise. The combos were fully random, as requested, and were randomly assigned as well.

Trust me, your start isnt going to hold you back.

OMG, Rusten posted in lurker thread? Is the guy from which i learned the most civ4(well if he is Rusten from cfc like 6-8 years ago if my memory serves well).Is he explining how do you play double clam start

I seen you joined for a very long time, why you didnt played any MP games here(I know you played some at cfc,here is much better).

[Rusten]

I never thought or remembered to visit this site. As you can see I have single-digit posts here.
I am looking to join some now however.

Turn 36 second city but at leas found a good position(plain hil, 2 lakes and wheat, unirigated of course)

If al the map and all received same land like me , i will win this without problem havin the best leader for this shit ,but i think this is either arcgipelago, either tectonics and i run few of those(3 of each) and is very imbalanced.Is true most of the strats are like mine(mostly the one which starts near pols) but there are some nice starts (not compared with what rb means nice) , but there were floodplains, gold,i seen even riverside corn, pigs and some serious rivers,calendar resource are in that are as well (if is the case and the map is one of this and someone got one of this starts,if someone got it i hope is 2MN or rem as theyr miicro doenst compare with dtays or joey or freaking OH ,I dont see how i could compete )

About microing my start i improved it alot by turn 36 capitol being size 3, working both clams and the sheep, have 2 workers, 3 forest down, second city setled near cow and turn 37 having cows hooked.I realy dont think something better than this is posible.

As a funny thing i played several years ago a game against someoane(i think was my cousin) a fractal map and i got a wet corn, clam start some hills and i was very happy , and didnt restarted(we had the right to refuse aour start if ther is no river) considering my start was good, but latter oh my nearly to finish MoM, MoM was build in far away land try for colosus, 2 turns to MC colosus build in away land same with GLib and others was so frustrating,made me wondering how that my cousin is playing so well , i had no choiise but conquer all the neigbour and after start a naval war against him and him having a very low tolerance on pain conceded, and i found his start: riverside corn, gras pig and 2 gold resources.....

An analyzis of oponenets will falow, becasue i decided to have fun with this game even is looking so bad , so there i go with a casula game(i know i roled maps to test so there goes that, casual like soul involved i supose)
