Interesting choices. Shaka and Genghis are both left out.


My choice of Australia: Never played them before and Austria is sometimes confused with Australia so it made sense to pick them as my home-country

Peter is really overplayed here, Gilgamesh was tempting but in the end my curiosity to play something completely new to me won.

So lets see if I can train some poisonous spiders or snakes to hunt the others.

I wonder why I get a capital without a Luxury. It is always nice to have your capital unhappy in the early game. really why do we have people look at maps if such nonsense is the result.
Plusside lot of hills.

Nice to see I have Horses & sheep (which would both be 3rd ring for the starting_tile).
