Your start. Note that the corner tiles and fog will be changed.

tech choices look like hunting- mining - bronze working - AH? maybe.
decided on KKhan, and egypt because it tends to fit my style of play. i plant cities in locations that will after a border pop, be Great, which needs creative to not be super terrible thinking imo. cha is just overall a great trait from my view, quicker promo's, higher happy cap to begin with.. it doesnt get much better than that. Egypt is pretty self-explanatory.. War chariots even when nerfed against archers, is still quick, powerful, and wrecks axemen/warriors. With Cha, i dont see why i cant run over some barbs, get some promo's and go wreck someone. If needed of course.. not going to be planning on warring this time around but it will be in my back pocket. I just hope i dont start next to Zulu. Egypt i believe, still starts with Wheel/agriculture, giving me a huge advantage for things my workers can be doing, farming, roading, and with hunting being finished before my first worker, he will be always busy doing something. Obelisk, not something i feel im going to use/abuse at all this time, but not a Terrible UB.

interesting choices by the rest of the players. Curious how much water we will see this time around.

a quick thought or two on these choices..

1. ipecac (Genghis Khan/Zulu)
Agg impi's, are going to be Fun. Really hope im not bordering this guy. bang 
I expect from his post count that he knows what he is doing and will likely make for a tough opponent, likely to expand very fast with imp.


2. wetbandit (Boudica/Mongolia)
Strongest melee/promotions.. plus good old Mongolia UU? Im not scared.


3. yuris125 (Saladin/India)
Very interesting choices, India's fast worker is still pretty amazing, and the UB i cant comment on.
Saladin is Phi/pro? So a defensive choice from Yuri.



4. Dark Savant (Churchill/Inca)
Maybe Dark Savant will put Churchill to better use than i did? Inca is still a very good civ.


5. Ghostpants - (Mao/Mali)
This screams defense. Nothing scary, just not a good choice to attack.


6. Charriu - (Shaka/Khmer)
If i neighbor him, he dies. I dont see why khmer was picked. Not that great, maybe starting techs? Shaka isnt a bad leader however.

7. JR4 - (Tokugawa/China)
Toku is now one of the top leaders, great on both attacking and being defensive, and china and their starting techs/ UU isnt to be toyed with. Great choice.

8. Superdeath (Kublai khan/Egypt)
Ive said it before, but Creative for the ez border pops, and cha for ez promos.. I also found out in testing that both of their library bonuses stack? Not bad.
Egypt's starting techs are top notch, and the War Chariot is stupid good, even with the nerf. Cant wait to knock some heads whip

Hopefully my start has just 1 or 2 neighbors. i want a safe area to expand towards... before the bloodshed begins anyway.
