So, apparently, will ours - but at least we're getting there eventually!
Here are the choices we rolled for you - when you've decided whether to keep the civ or reroll it, and which (if either) of the leaders you want to keep, post the inforrmation here to let us know.
The essential form of the BFC may be relied upon, though we might still make superficial changes e.g. to whether the trees are deciduous, conifers, or snowy, and we might imaginably even rotate the whole thing 90 degrees or something since the surrounding terrain is still being finalized. The corner tiles may yet change, and the fog is a fabric of lies, but at least you've got your start!
Inca is definite keeper. Too bad there aren't Protective leaders offered to pair with it. Not sure I want to try my luck with a reroll. Both of these leaders would be decent ones, even if I'm not sure I can take full advantage of Spi with my casual (i.e. no planning ahead) playing style. Nevertheless the flexibility Spi provides is definately ok also for less organized playing. Value of Cha is typically diminshed in a MP games and Spi offers tools to handle the happiness situation a bit better than your average other trait i.e. Imp feels a better pairing for Spi.
I guess I've convinced myself and I'll go with Justinian of Inca.
Hi, here's your MapCad-generated sandbox to help you plan your opening. You'll need to have RtR 2.0.8.4 installed. If something doesn't work as it should, let me know.
After keeping a year off CIV, here we go again. Feeling like playing with autopilot. Map maker force fed the starting position and I didn't feel like creating havoc to my neighbors or map makers via moving. I suppose it is still considered optimal to start with worker build so I decided to follow the normal pattern also there. Inca is nice, but this start position does not fit with its starting techs at all so I need Hunting before the worker is ready.
Haven't thought about things much further. Obvious goals after Hunting are BW and Pottery. Probably Pottery 1st, but need to consider if I need Mining before that to get some non-slavery hammers for Settler production purposes.
Met Commodore and some whining is in order. Starts seem quite uneven. Commodore had forested ivory (faster worker) and grassland pigs (faster growth) and is already at size 2 in capital (as quite a few others) and I'm still few turns away. Basically this leads to the situation where my early game advantage of faster settlers is just keeping me on par in the expansion race and not ahead as I would really need to be at this point.

I specifically looked for your thread, sad to hear you're not sharing. (Agree with ichabod, great title)
Not much to tell. Gonna force Gavagai to build huge army, because he decided not to share with me. I've already lost it, but gonna take someone with me.
