Oh my. So nice civs to choose from:

Scotland
Zulu
Aztec
Kongo
Sumeria
Greek(Pericles)

I'm quite sure everyone expects the Zulu.

Yes, Zulu are strong and will probably stream roll everyone else with absurdly early corps ...

... but can they build golf courses?

Yeah that’s their major drawback smile

I think I will refrain from the Zulu this time. They are a one-trick pony and need to survive till then to fully utilize it. At the same time there are ikely Scythia or Mongols in the game that will try to stomp the Zulu before they get big anyway.

Sumer OTOH can easily wipe out a neighbour early on.
The Scots I would only chose for the sake of playing an expansion civ.

Maybe I take Pericles now that Anti-cav units get a Bonus to production and there is the new PikeandShot-Unit too. Would be fitting in a game where there might be Mongols and Scythia.

And it starts smile




I'm quite southern with Ice right next the capital.

SiP manage citizens to speed up growth and order a War-wagon.




The growth and build time is of course wrong. Thats the times using the original 1f3c -tile the AI selected. Now growth happens in 4 turn.

Ignoring the Icce this is a nice start. Easy Eurekas for at least 4 techs.

you bloodthirsty warmonger smile

We will see how much hammer will happen. A lot depends where and who my neighbours are.

Nothing new on turn 3 except Emperor has now settled too.

I'm the first to size 2 (maybe only by virtue of the turnorder) and Alhambram has already 3 Era-points:

Turn 6. Everyone except Emperor K is now at size 2. Crossing the pass between snowcovered montains the warrior marches on towards the promised shores of the great mediterranean.

Hopefully thats enough characters for Statler and Waldorf wink.
