My starting position:



For some reason, an area to the E is revealed. It is not nearly as nice as my spot, so I don't think it's Romeo (and I wouldn't think Akots would put us so close), but it may be another AI, so I will keep an eye on it. Hopefully, it is not an unnecessary distraction.

For the start, it looks like I have corn, pigs and fish in the cross range. Cows and ivory very closs also. That’s a lot of food!

Corn plain with farm (AGR) = 4f + 1 shield
Pig grass with pasture (AH) = 6f
Fish with net (fishing) = 4f + 2 com, 6f with lighthouse

Move Quecha SE, nothing new to see

Settle in place -> Quecha
I decide to start with research fish (6T) so I can build a workboat and work a 2 gold tile early. Once I know which religion (buddist or Taoist) that Romeo went for, I can switch out research to that while working the fish. I should know in 10 or 12turns. Later, I will probably go for Pottery (via wheel), building a worker after 2 or 3 Quecha’s which will really just keep the barbs away.

Here's how things look after I settled in place:

Sorry, have no idea why it is revealed. I remember clearing the visible tiles at least once and it was not there when I playtested.

ok, long time no update. I'll try to behave better. Basically, I'm near or dead last in everything but tech. Hopefully, it's tech-uber-alles, but I don't know. I really goofed the early game due to lack of real understanding of this game, but with more playing, I hope I can make it up.

Also, while writing this, I realize I haven't taken a screenie in ages, so I'll try to get some posted so all can have a good laugh

ok, some screens that sum up the situation. I'm currently building up a bit to throw some units at Japan and gain those resources that are needed.

Well, I've done a complete 180 on this one, and am now sprinting past Romeo towards cav's I'll try to update with pics later, but it's now 1040AD and I've conquered the Japanese, who had Pyramids and GLib. I've also built Colossus

Tech uber alles!







With the capture of the Pyramids, I've revolted to Representation and plan on teching to Mil Tradition. Build up an uber stack of Cav's, and pound Romeo. I have decent relations with both AI's, while Russia hates Romeo but Mansa is ok with him.
