PMs leading to the civ choice:

So what do you think about civs? We want to be complimentary of course. Who should take the ag civ. I'd think Iroquois are a natural. Romans or Persians?

I have a couple of nice choice. One whould be Japan. They start with the wheel
and massonery.
We could even try to gambit with a Japan-Egypt gambit, but that is a bit risky,

Chineese Mil/Ind do start with Mas. and WC.

Persia also gives us 4 starting tech, but none to the MW.

Finaly, Egypt might also be considered, maybe even before persian. Cheap, fast moving UU.

Though I'd love to have 2 AA UU's because this should move quickly but I don't see any that will give 4 complimentary techs.

Japanese having the wheel gives a pretty big edge towards MW's. Do you want Iroquois and I take Japan? I think we will need to be as strong as possible early and I think I'd prefer you take the ag trait and power of MW's.

Techwise would be Wheel and WC, followed by HBR and BW.

Japan: no AA UU, we get MW not mutch earlier, but we get spears faster.

What you think?

I think your right though and Egypt works for me.

So we have
Whomp: Egypt
Barbu: Iros
