First things First...Holy cow Darkness this is a sweet start. I hope for my sake you plunked Killer in the middle of some tundra.
What happened to my 4000BC turn? This says it's 3950BC... All of the others with the exception of Killer have 50 Points. Do we start off 1 turn later or is that just an issue of game mechanics? Thoughts: In the Game: Mongols - Warrior Code Pottery Romans - Warrior Code Alphabet Vikings- Warrior Code Alphabet Persians - Bronze Working Masonry Zululand - Warrior Code Pottery Egypt - Masonry Ceremonial Burial Killer Babs - Bronze Working Ceremonial Burial Me: India - Alphabet Ceremonial Burial Warrior Code = 4 Alphabet = 3 Ceremonial Burial = 3 Bronze Working = 2 Pottery = 2 Masonry = 1 With only 2 opponents with Pottery I will research it to insure my ability to get my settler factory up an running smoothly.

You do have to start at turn 1, or 3950 BC. Killer didn't move either. This is because the mapmaker enters passwords, iirc.
Also, the AI start on mountains so they don't get an extra turn, usually, but ask the map maker for this one, and see if they did or not. |

GA is correct. The AI didn't start on mountains for this game, so you'll have to deal with a one turn lag behind the AI. Considering the starts you both got, that shouldn't be a problem...

Just keep them under 200K and name without space and special characters.

Thanks Akots! (the 200k thing was hampering my attempts)
Well the start looks even better when you plunk down the city. I've laid out my starting moves. If you see a glaring error let me know. 1.) Irrigate and road 1st cow 2.) Irrigate and road 2nd cow 3.) Mine and road BG 4.) Chop/Road/mine one of the furs dependant upon which direction expansion will take place in. To me It looks as if there is desert to the north and Ocean (or water anyway to the North East so I will send my warrior straight west to look for contact and settleable lands.
