CFC MTDG warmup **Spoiler**
 

Turn juan


Well with the CDZ team participating in the MTDG over at the CFC i along with BCLG joined in the the pitboss warm up game to fly the flag for team CDZ.

After logging in i got a strange feeling of deja vu, its like i've been here before in a previous game

I hope simon had a bit more luck, its not like he could have less.

Anyway having had previous experience i've learned a couple of things;
1. No need for defence, no could possibly be that stupid to want my land, and if they are they are welcome to it
2. No point worring about infrastructure, i could easily keep pace early but then everyone just takes off into the distance

So with that in mind my plan is to first reasearch fishing, get some food into tummies, prey to god there are horses in the city radius, and while i'm hopefully building lots of chariots get BW so i can whip away merrily. Then it a matter of finding my first neighbour/victim with my recon/invasion group.

The capital is actually looking quite good. There is awful lot of food, a luxury, and some hammers to chop and to mine. If only you can find a neighbor which can be conquered and conquer him rapidly...

Turn 5

Just kill me now.
The hut that was popped by my border expansion gave me a map

What it looks like at this point is i'm on some island at the north pole by myself with lots and lots of ice

Any amazing ideas would be welcome

Does the game have an Inuit Arctic Perserverence Victory option?






No?






well, then roll over and die :(

Build 2 more cities and go for a culture win.

Prize for the crappiest start?

AI yourself and stop wasting time.

Seriously, I saw some of the other starting positions. There's nothing you can do with this but waste your time. Alternately, go south.

Maybe we can make it one;)

If only i had useable land for two more cities, could cram them in i suppose

Yay i win, want do i get;)

I'd feel bad quitting so soon, i might do a bit more exploring in the vain hope there is something else out there, but i probably will eventually

Maybe i'll get a random event thats gives me a dozen nukes and a world map in the next few turns

Do the honorable thing: put a settler on a boat and settle on a 1 tile island. Best civ3 strategy that won't work in civ4 EVER.
