You are laughing at me dont you? Lets see there are under 120 usable tile for player, evrithing is near mirored. So very low chanses for Sidar to get shades from wild or barbarians.
More everiwere is jungle so BW is a mandatory tech for everyone so construction and even more the winnes and minning resource are a huge advantage for civs starting with crafting.
Going for FOL oh yeah there are 3 forest..., hunting faster if you wanna die to axe...and bronze warriours.
So lets see, someone has pyre zombies and BW is mandatory and i bet capitol distance is less then 12...oh and there we have super dwarfs , with everithing unlocked by BW and constroction... , and a guy with adventures wich starts with crafting. I supose me and the elf expected more epic games and this one will be a wild rush...
there is a complain that games are to short and are used just tier 1,2 units with this kind of map is clear.
Even worse both Auro and Dave will want to kill me Asap becasue mac dangerous.
And after seeing what i seen I can bet that Auro and dave are my closest neighbours.
And even more how do you arrage 5 people on this kind of map? Well someone must be piggy in the midlle and i bet is me again.
I was prepared for a huge story in character for sidar but this map doesnt offer that chanse.
So whats the plan.Just get Bw and construction and hope, build units and hope what I said will not happen.
I have fun optimizing the start , oh and even events dont like me, at least Cairo got a pop right in the begging so he stand a chanse i got something crime related,yeah good life.

turn 36.
Call it...
First to 2 cities
And some demos...
Look like we are already falling behind , to our friend mighty dwarf, which has 38 gnp lets see how can be so hight...Before i decided he has incense riverside +7, gold + 8+ palace 8+ another 4 riverisde tiles thats 28 +2 culture and i bet he is researching festivals for 20%.Well that aproxx
So yeah 30 to my 20 is alot.
As you seen i have Auro and dave like neighbours I didnt make contact becasue i didnt wanted them to start preparing for rush. I will avoid setling espeiclay towards Auro as pyre zombies are a nasty costumer.And you know whats even worse, theyr special mages which need just knowlege of ether and something like 107 hammer invested in buildings ti get out of the gate dudes with 5 experience and 2 moves, which of course can get some randome spell which thye need or not....Prediction is that Auro will try to kill me with those and if he manages i dont see how other have a chnse considering that on this map capitol is evrithing.

turn 39-40
So who could have the size 9 city, well after the score is castiel(Superjm), he started with 2 workers and has now a size 9 city but no second city and he just grow so will take at least 6 turns to build a setler (he cant have mysticism for GK) so overall i think he is behind.
Dave was second to 2 cities but i think he has problems with happinnes becasue you know empty waults so he has first city at size 6.His Gnp didnt grow as expectected from a maket and a merchant so maybe he reseached something at same price like carnavals(Well AH is a very solid choise on this map)
Auro i think got 2 workers second beeing at size 2 and he grow to 7 and after building a setler (maybe).He should plant any turn now his second city.
Cairo should plant any turn now as well,if he didnt already i have to check last save to see the score increase.
Well looks like I am clearly in front , maybe i had the best and easiest start to play or I just played the best openning.I confess i simmed several times
To bad I got no positive events just got the winter one wich freezed my banana and forced me to change the micro from building setler at size 6 to get at at size 5.
To bad Bob decide to nerf IND into oblivion putting no agri resource at start and/ or at second city some rice into a jungle and wheat sorounde by desert.OH weell i ma courious to find how others land looks like,its same case like me or i got a special love.Oh and you could gave me a unjungled hill for at least mere production.,but i supose all got same shaft like me.
But there is good news as well
First barbarian apeared,remember in FFH and bts you dotn want your micro destroyed by barbs, and you even do spam busting? not my case I welcome those and even prepared some welcomening parties of warriours so I get experinece.I am planning to get low batle odds til i am near 8-9 experience from there taking shock should be 90% or over to get me some shades.

Oh yeah in las a good event.    .To bad i dont have 75 gold in had because i got no gold event and even so i would need 2 very good rolls or if i had 30 gold i would run gold for a turn or 2 to get 75 but this way .... oh yeah, 
Oh yeah , barbs are coming.I know I kow i wanted this but this is alitle too much , guys play nice and dont pillage please.
I just realized that my firend elf setlet 5 turns ago becasue he has 11 culture.Auro this turn. So i have a litle of adavantage.

This is my mighty army(largest in the world).
I decided to go completly vertical so i grow my cities to maximum becasue of 2 things : No good spots left(actualy there is a spot close to auro with a flood plain and cooper and deer , wheat in second ring), and second I realy dont want to gave Auro any reason to use pyre zombies or witches on me, so I will stay away for a while.
I am realy courious if others got same stuff like me everithing beeing jungled , or where i could get a city is a deser for a beautifull -25 deffence.
Of course not beeing CRE is huge.Man was so easy with ethne...I think people seriously underestimate cre...

OH yeah big turn 50.
There are like 30 lurkers which are reading , but no coments please whoțs reading just say hello.
Man i read some old games with diplo on and bigger maps some of them were epics.I realy miss one of those.But i think is hard to get one.
Back turn 50, were is Maksim to ask for big update techs plans...
Still I do one.
Thats the land i have. I could have 3 cities but having no good city site near by and first city costing 4 gold when i planted didnt think is worth.If there was a city with a silk , a cotton or something which gave comerce or happines i would had go for it, this wai not worth.Maybe will be a loosing move and others got best second third cities , but what can I do? I play the hand i was dealt.Sorry Bos if i sounded abrazive , but becasue I always want to win i see enemies everywere  .
Victory screen.Of courese we think just at victory , but we can learn something from there as well beeing at 24% pop is very solid and shows that i have 1 2 pops in plus which is nice.
The sweet demos , You can see some shading there(bars were on spree) i had loads of them.but more can tell from life expentacy, there are no grain resource and because of that people are living under 50 years(48 in my case) and some people got more happines.
Looks like I am not the only one which went realy tall, looks like most of people took same decizione beside dave , which didnt research a tech for serious turn so i have him going or for runnes, or maybe for BW so he can plant a new city.But doenst make sense that becasue as dwarf you want at least some gold so you can grow.
So concluzion i dont know very good but will see if in 3-4 turn runnes will be funded.
