Hey! Stop hijacking the thread :p

Ok, as promised, here's the starting locations. First one is Bismarck. I didn't settle yet as he was 1 tile to the West. I was thinking either settling where he is now, or one more tile SE. This is a large terra map with 10 other nations, so I'm up for suggestions.

This one is Saladin. Settled on spot I suppose one tile SE would have been much nicer though.

at first I thought that this game was the one that akots is making a map for us here at CDZ...


I'm curious why you decided to move Bismarck. I personally think that you had 2 good starting spots. Germany seems to be on the west coast which would be good for scouting the new world continent that is in the Terra script

[mauer]

Hmm, that's a good question Tubby. I moved Bismarck because....because....I guess I moved him cause I thought THEN he'd have access to 2 tiles with 3 food. I think I play my turns too quick, although city placement isn't my strong point. Hey, I have plenty of chopping to do right!?

[Robi D]

Do you have new screenies

[mauer]

Here's one of Bismarck. I've found where the Greeks are, and I've also run into the aztecs. Looks like I better get on the diplo pretty quick as they've both got aggressive early UU's.

This sucks........nothing but jungle for miles and miles. I do have sugars and dies, so maybe I should start working a way to the calender approach? I should have buddhism in 2 unless someone else got a start with more gold than I, which mine would equal a big fat ZERO! I think I got rooked on this starting spot.

Hmm, maybe I should split this up into two threads. You think?

[Tubby Rower]

no keep them together as long as you can distinguish the advice/spam to the seperate civs

[BCLG100]

you dont know where metal is so i wouldnt be counting out any settling locations around mecca

[Robi D]

Keep them in the same thread. Btw do you know where your 2 civs are relative to each other

[mauer]

From what I'm guessing, I think Saladin is somewhere in the North East portion of the land mass, and Bismarck is on the E/SE portion. I know the Greeks are very close to Germany (SW). I've also had discussions with the Aztecs about a technology pact. He's also willing to pounce on Greece as well since the guy playing Greece also has Rome!

[mauer]

Dang, over a month. You know how it goes though, especially early on. Not much has changed. Although I am beginning to consider possible second city sites. Any suggestions? Saladin and Bismark (3080 BC) below.

I'm also looking for someone to fill in for me in this game for about 2 weeks. Anyone interested?

[BCLG100]

depends when the 2 weeks is, i might be able to do it..

[mauer]

Probably December 26th through "about" January 7th.

Also, in case you guys are wondering why Berlin is at Pop 1....well, I did something stupid. I pop rushed (at a cost of one German faithful) a worker. It was gonna take 14 more turns for the worker, but now it is taking forever to stinking grow back. Oh well, lesson learned.

[mauer]

Thanks Simon, but I just got a PM from somebody saying they will do it [neener]

[BCLG100]

ohwell i was going to say i couldnt do it so no worries :)

[mauer]

Update:

I've spoken with Klammi (English/Russian) and we've put together what we believe to be a working map. He, along with Podraza have both signed on to taking on Teaolus (Rome/Greece).

Unfortunately this game was put down. Could have been a great game with these settings, but I should have listened to Whomp.....don't start PBEM's on CFC. Oh well.
