I'm playing Shaka of the Zulu. Decided to play restricted to give Seven a chance.
I don't have a picture right now. My Capital has irrigated rice and sheep, separated by hills and trees which makes moving a pain. So, being the genius that I am, I decided to go straight for BW, not the fully discounted AH. And what else? Of course, settler at size 2, gunning for Copper. My already placed second city has corn and copper on the first ring (and I don't expect it to ever get to the clams at the second).
I want a quick Impi to try and annoy Seven as best as I can. Even if he gets an axe, I can outrun him.
Third city will probably be pig + gold (both first ring). It's close to my second city, but far from the Capital, that's why I went Copper first.
The gold will boost me to HBR. Shock HA's + Shock Impis are the plan. If there's a 4th city, it'll be on a forested area for pure chopping.
The plan will fail.
