I am Ragnar of the barbarians in this (vikings!)
If your involved in this game you know what you can swivel on if your reading this and aren't dead!
As per Matrix's request, my absolutly amazing start.
My capital is a reasonable city, i managed to build the oracle and then bulb feud (and take that route to CS, due to my gnp lead for awhile i think i was the first to get there) i also built the hanging gardens for a pop boost and as i'd researched monarchy early as well i could take the possible unhappyness also built the maoi statues there as well as i have a lot of water tiles in it.

Then the joy starts, my second city only one area which is land and isnt ice!

3rd city, its ok but hard to do anything with

and finally the pick of the bunch

I've been able to see robboo's culture for the majority of the game but only recently with the discovery of caravels have i been able to contact him and upon discovery my borders have popped open!

So i'll be attacking him sharpish, when my last caravel went over his capital had a skirm and an axe there. I also feel it would be a pitty if my raiders didnt manage to get a run out. I'll probably attack and raze for awhile then come back and settle. It's really the only play left open to me, though i do have other islands nearby which i could settle.

my demo are ok for a civ which is pretty much totally reliant on one city for just about everything. I need to find some cities where i can get some cottages up and running though.
Recently i've also found ian

nitro says he has met most people so hopefully i should be coming into contact with more people shortly.
I'm doing ok techwise (for my position)

i havent bothered with attempting to grab a religion, hered rule is doing everything for me.
