[ NO PLAYERS ] French Vanilla is the best Vanilla Icecream

Looking back at Mr. Cairo's start I wonder why he didn't do it. It's a lot easier decision then the one they did.

Hilarious how Amicolala is complaining about the map being to close and Mjmd about the opposite

Tbf, Amica's starting position is probably the most cramped of all the positions, so I understand. Remember that he hasn't even met Noble yet.

Regarding Amica's starting position: having to go WB first without a 2h tile in the inner ring is just mean.

I mean, he could go worker first and get the corn up. Then go WB. It also allows for more worker turns maybe camp ivory and add a amine and then get to BW and chop a forest. I think I would have gone worker first for sure. The corn is a 6f tile and the crab is 6 yield with a lighthouse, but only 5 right now...

Worker first is the better opening. Ag-->BW

He's got first ring riverside corn. Farm it, mine the riverside grass hill and then chop. Settler at 3 working Corn, mine, and netted crabs or at 4 working camped ivory as well. 1st is faster, 2nd techs better.

WB 1st without a 3h 1st ring tile is almost always worse than worker first if you have a 5 food land resource. It's always worse if you have a riverside 6 food tile.

Um.

Building the WB on a ZERO hammer tile????

I downloaded the map from this thread but when I try and start it up it immediately goes into "You have been defeated" and won't load?

Do you have the mod loaded?

Yes, I expressed myself unclearly. Of course, it's inferior to go WB first, but if you do go for it, having to do it without a 3h/2h tile starting from T0 is horrible. Whether to do L3 or L4 settler is highly dependent upon how much you value having a warrior. It's easy to get T30 settler with 1 warrior built going worker --> wb --> warrior --> settler and teching agr -> hunting -> BW. Worker starts with corn, then improves camp, wastes a worker turn moving into a hill and mines it and finally completes the settler with a chop. I'm pretty sure this can be improved, but this is an obvious baseline.
