PMs leading to the civ choice:

So what do you think about civs? We want to be complimentary of course. Who should take the ag civ. I'd think Iroquois are a natural. Romans or Persians?

I have a couple of nice choice. One whould be Japan. They start with the wheel
and massonery.
We could even try to gambit with a Japan-Egypt gambit, but that is a bit risky,

Chineese Mil/Ind do start with Mas. and WC.

Persia also gives us 4 starting tech, but none to the MW.

Finaly, Egypt might also be considered, maybe even before persian. Cheap, fast moving UU.

Though I'd love to have 2 AA UU's because this should move quickly but I don't see any that will give 4 complimentary techs.

Japanese having the wheel gives a pretty big edge towards MW's. Do you want Iroquois and I take Japan? I think we will need to be as strong as possible early and I think I'd prefer you take the ag trait and power of MW's.

Techwise would be Wheel and WC, followed by HBR and BW.

Japan: no AA UU, we get MW not mutch earlier, but we get spears faster.

What you think?

I think your right though and Egypt works for me.

So we have
Whomp: Egypt
Barbu: Iros

Fine, done. I will forward them to BedHead. Let's roll some head!!

Before we make that final, what are the terrain restrisctions to chariot?

Ahh...no mountains, jungles or marshes. I think we should change.

It's a tough call since hills are OK.

Let's change to japan. We'll still be in business with samurais.

Plus having early MW's will be huge.
I sent these to bed_head.
What do you think our strategy should be vs. these guys?
I think getting the MW's will be a big offensive advantage and we should seize it.
How many cities will we be able to crank out on a tiny map?

I have to play test abit. I'll try to do this this weekend. I have 5 or 6 cities in mind. We agreed to Accelerated Production right?

One thing is sure is that let's keep only productive cities. Long time growth will have very little impact.

I think we will see many MW from other teams. The short time strategy will depend mutch on the second civ picked by the other teams.

Right it's on AP.
How are you setting up a play test? AW vs. AI? I have some time this weekend so I can too.
I wonder if we'll be able to tell what type civ they are. If they're renamed it may not be possible to tell.

Something like AW against AI, It's just to get used to the map size, tech cost and AP impact.

I guess Rik will have to tell us about our civ choice since he will know when moding the game.
