That means it's all you JH, we do have faith.

Mehmed has a Gunpowder UU, and is expansive and organized.

Toko still has the samurai, but he gets the dreaded protective trait. Boo-urns. You can read up on it, but I don't know, i think that if we're defending in our cities we're losing, right? But Drill 1 and City Defense 1 is pretty powerful, and those come AUTOMATICALLY, without building a barracks.

So maybe I am changing my mind here. Having 1 of our Civs dedicated to defense, one to offense, and one to research?

So...Okay. I think Tokogawa is in. Good Suggestion. Cyrus and Capac as additions? We'll have good early units, and good protection.

Have we decided on our civs? I get my discs today so I'll mess around with them tonight.

So we have Capac, Cyrus, Ragnar, Mehmed and Toko as fore-runners so far? I'll volunteer for the defensive role, sometimes a good defence ... is a good defence. Another thing to consider is UB's; Capac and Ragnar have good ones, Toku's blows. We might want to replace him with Saladin: protective, middle age UU, can start with a run to a religion, good UB. This is the one I'd be.

okay, were replacing toko with saladin

BEORN : SALADIN
WHOMP : CAPAC
JHILL : RAGNAR

I have a beyond awesome starting position. Yours 2 is somewhat different, one might say. I started on Meditation to snag us a religion, one of you (JHill IIRC) is near and could benefit from it. I am semi-coastal (didn't fog-gaze the coast and settled away from it by a tile) and my neighbor is coastal as well, with stones.

Waiting for you guys' input, I haven't played CIV in a while so however dumb it sounds, say it, and I'll take it kindly.

Yeah, sadly , map is being restarted. I will be on tonight about 8pm onwards eST, catch me on gmail at stephenpopick AT gmail DOT com

Are wer going for a war tech first or some religion?

we each go for one, right?

We can combine research as a team so if we want to speed through one we can.
