4000 : worker moves to hill -> see the cow.
Move settler 1 NW to non bg-grass.
3950 : found Sumeria (dont like Ur as its a Bab city name !)
Hit F10 and make the (first) mistake (of the game) of seeing no commercial civ ! So science is set to max on Alphabet. =>43 turns
3650 : First, here is why Dr Alimentado's mods are a cheat !

[br

3500: Follow the mountains and find the Babs, thet refuse a straight Pottery to CB deal, even with my 10g on top !

[br

3150 : Remind me to never run a farmers gambit anymore in C3C ! Here is an example of whats called "just in time production"




Obviously leaving my capital empty was too big an attraction for my friendly neighbour who has more units then they know what to do, by that time it was GAME OVER for me...

My lone Enkidu survives the whole Bab SoD consisting of 3 reg bowmen and a spear. The 3 bowmen fighting across a river die and promote my Enkidu to Elite ! The Spear then moves south to pillage.

[

The Elite heals and another Enkidu arrives from Sumer, I attack the unfortified spear with my elite and I get something I have very rarely experienced so early!
This is a major break : too bad I cant rush Pyramids
However I love the new Armies with their blitz ability and added movement, an Enkidu army will run havoc in Babylon
I desperately need a fourth city



2630 : Alpha comes in at monopoly but I cant trade it as I only know Babylon ! Max on Writing, might as well use the extra gold from GA
the GA fucks up my settler production : huge dilemma -> I need 4 cities but I cant get that settler out without wasting 3 turns in Sumeria !
I go for granary in order to use the GA prod bonus...I post my Elite Enkidu to watch for more Babs and switch Sumer to rax...

2510: Discover Persia real close as well !



Alphabet+Pottery, dont buy me shit...
Babs are ready to talk and have Iron Working. Persia has Masonry, even giving Peace+Alpha+Pottery+10g dont buy me IW, grrrr
I prefer to hold on to Alpha to delay Writing and play pointy stick for those 1st level techs...The Babs will experience the Revenge of Enkidu
The war must go on !

Those few turns took me 4 hours to play ! I am not sure I can finish this game in time but after "coming back from the dead" like I did, I can only enjoy this game and play it for the fun : if I can just survive and win I will be happy, I dont care for a fast finish, am not gonna compete in this one : I think anyone who can survive this challenge will definitly be a worthy player
