Here the spoiler to the newest game, Snowman was looking for some PTW-gaming and I just couldn't say no (even though I should have since I have tests coming up). Level is Monarch.
Since I promised not to bother anyone about PTW-maps anymore, I randomly created this map myself and then checked if Snowman wanted to play like that. To make it fair I gave him my starting position so he would know what he was dealing with.
We wanted a map with continents, but it certainly looks like pangea right now. Well, at least most of the civs are on that continent and I already met Snowman north-east. He actually killed my scout, so I'll have to be careful in the future.
Anyways, we started with something like 23 turns on our first day, this is turn 43:

You can see the ruins of an abandoned city. It was a free one (gotta love Monarch, tons of Techs and good stuff instead of the usual barbarians you get at higher levels) and I decided to move it to a better location.
I felt kinda bad because it looks like I screwed up and selected pangea instead of continents, plus I seem to have a pretty good start. Also, Snowman is kinda new and I didn't want to scare him of. I was actually going to gift him all my first-level techs, but he sounded pretty confident (after me repeatedly asking him if he wanted to start over, he apparently was worried that I wanted to quit). Plus he shed the first blood, so we're on now. [evil]
