Another Arch map was requested for Bedhead and I. DG, SoZ fixed, no SGL's. We got this bizarro setup [lol]

oh well, to make the best of it, I squeezed 2 towns on the tiny starting island, and beelined for Philo. I also built 3 dingys and found the connecting "spoke" in the middle of the map. Rik gave us 250g to start with too, for unit support i think.

Well, luckily, I emphasized production over pop growth early, which is a bit wierd for me. However, I really felt that I need to get the dingy's out to find more land and to find other civs as I am very isolated.
My score is sucking big time right now because of this, but also because I got hit by disease on turn 21. However, I started meeting civs right after that.
Turn 22: meet Iroquois
Turn 28: meet Portugal
Turn 30: meet Dutch
Turn 33: meet Vikings
Will meet the Spanish on Turn 36
Techwise, went 100% for Writing and got it on turn 33. Bought Pottery from Iro for 96g on Turn 28. Then, I turned Writing into tech parity on turn 33 by the following set of trades:
Vikings: get IW for Pottery and 51g;
Dutch: Writing for Mas and 10g
Portugese: Sell Mas for Wheel and 60g
Iro: Sell Mas for WC and 106g
Looks like I settled on the Iron with the 2nd town, but that's ok as this town will really only build dingys and workers till MM is discovered, then galleys for settling. It kinda annoys me that we will have to build harbors to connect all the towns, but at least they are only 30g and many of the islands have ivory. Oh yeah, Ivory seems to give +1fp. Need to keep track of the changes as they get a little confusing [crazyeye]
