* SPOILER * CDZ Pitboss - Arabia
 

So, I joined this pitboss game (don't ask why), and I got to choose between Egypt and Persia. So obviously I picked Arabia: we all know arabs rule the world right?

Basically my plan is to pray that the arabs have all the oil in this game as well, so I'll have to make it to the endgame first.

4000 b.c.: looks like I have a craptastic start. Since I doubt anyone would want all these desert tiles, I'm sure I'll make it to the endgame. Strategery is tech!

Civstats are here, open thread is here.

First I thought, wow another player that made a spoiler for "our" pitboss game...then I saw Arabia...
irritated me first.

You chose to go Always War, didn't you?

So, no need to asking whether you have friends already...

Always war? Don't know, I thought we went with no tech trading.

3840 b.c.:

No gold around the capital, so instead of going for a religion I went with fishing.

3520 b.c. I just researched agriculture, now researching husbandry. Couldn't decide if I wanted the marble or the sheep around Mecca. Decided to go for the growth.

2960 b.c. Just researched masonry, decided to aim for judaism>monarchy. I'm not yet sure if I want to build a third city already.

2480 b.c. Well, I already completed my primary objective for this game: converting the arabs to judaism. Currently researching pottery. Next goal: converting all jews to christianity. Or islam, I'm undecided.

Did you start with 2 settlers? Why is the desert giving 3 food? Looks kind of like the mapmaker took out a river. Are you going to move the palace to the marbley spot when CS comes in?

Everybody started with two settlers. I think the mapmaker added floodplains to balance my terrible desert start. The hill to the NW of my capital now has a horsey, so it's actually a pretty productive city now.

I noticed that, I assumed it was a special trait of the arabs.
