Spoiler Vs Darkness ******
 

I have a game against the Journeyman of civ4, the busiest man in PBEM, Darkness himself.

The game is ~ 20 turns in, so I figure now is a good time to post a pic and some commentary.
Here is my starting position. Lots of floodplains. Can you say cottage cheese?? I knew you could.

My continent mates are Mansa and Izzy. I will probably want to make Mansa die first, as I really don't like financial civs, unless I am playing them.

I have picked up 217 or so gold, but no techs from huts. Tech plan went for wheel, pottery and now working on AH for my fun immortals!!

I Might whack Izzy for fun too though as she has a religion and I could want that, and Mansa's skirmishers are freaking annoying.

Can we please get groovy screens ?? ? ? [rik]

Well here we go. I will give you some pics of my northlands and my southlands. My capitol will spam settlers and workers, pretty much anything else must be built elsewhere.
To the north. I am thinking of a position to grab the 2 gold hills.

Well time for an update on my game with Darkness.

If you don't know what this screenie signifies, I might require that you turn in your c4 disk, or I might ask you to play against me.

I was fortunate and my elephant city also picked up copper.

My gems city just needs ironworking so I can work the gems, and I will be getting to that shortly, after I get the CS slingshot completed.

damn i cant tell what the screenie signifies because for some reason it wont show up :S

It must mean that your civ4 CD is required to see the sreenie.

Hmm, Ill have to try and fix that when I get home tonight

i can see the other screenies if that helps :)

Just an update. I did pull off the CS slingshot. I am now in the first anarchy, so that I can get my religion up. Then I will be in anarchy for the civics swaps.

Time for an update again.

I still have 3 cities, but I truely own a powerhouse in Persepolis.

I am working on continuing to grow my capitol bigger and stronger. I really like the nice 1 turn immortals.
I am building them until it is time to start constructing my Great Library.
7 turns till I get my shrine up, so I can keep the money pouring into research. I am building a settler to go up and claim me some gold.
