Round 1 Spoiler vs Some name I can't spell
 

This is my spoiler for my game vs Ynnek.
Thoughts, comments and ideas are more than welcome.

Small, Fractal Map. I drew Togu. My strengths are obvious, aggresive and cheap civics. I need to play to that, as well as cheap lighthouses and courts, so if it gets to that point, I can spam fishing villages.

Here is my start.

I decided to move to on the hill so as to have wicked growth, some free shields and some hills in my radius.
I am building a workboat first, as growth is king in civ. I am going to research towards pottery first as a granary and most importantly cottages kick butt.
I think I will go work boat, wb, worker, warrior. The worker and wb might switch places, but I doubt it.

That's some amazing growth potential there. Just be sure and manage the unhappiness from overpopulation. Not too many shields, but whipping alot is an option. Heck, with that much food, I'd almost be willing to just cottage all those flood plains and look for a production center elsewhere. Not that you won't have good production with those hills, but definatley could be a good gold city. I'd go, again just my 2 cents, warrior, wb, worker.

Production is pretty bad actually. Desert hills are bad tiles, and arent efficient until you reach size 10-12 with cottages. But the whip can keep you going until you find a production center.

Quick update, I just finished turn 5, and I just met a persian scout. Good thing that he isn't ynnek.
I may listen to you guys and revise my build order to go WB, warrior worker WB.

And now it gets ugly!!
Ynnek found me, and I am recalling my warrior as fast as possible.

I didn't find him till after my turn was over.

So he found you already. You're going to be much closer than mauer and I, that's for sure. So what's the plan now? BW asap to whip those extra food away? Settler asap to get a spot with some actual production capability?

I will finish with pottery, then research to BW quickly.
Here founding on a hill helps me a lot.
I may also have to get archery a lot sooner than I would normally.

Which is why I always build a warrior first :D.....just saying

That and an early axeman :(

Well, I just researched mining. From the Score, I am even in Tech and size with Cyrus, and up a tech on Ynnek. I have my warrior back, and my aggresive trait will be very very nice as long as I keep tech and resource parity.
I will grow to size 3 in 1 turn and get my WB in 2, with Bronze working due in 10 turns.
