9 - Pop a deserted hut.

17 - Meet Russia, give Masonry and 5 gold for Ceremonial Burial

19 - Meet the Zulu, give Masonry and Bronze Working and 2 gold.

22 - Somehow I've met the Aztecs, I sell them Masonry for 35 gold.

24 - I build my first settler. Since my land is small and blocked off from the AI by mountains I will pack the cities in close in an RCP format.

Here is the dotmap, I can choose either the red or light green ring for my first set of cities, and the blue, orange or dark green for te outer ring. I am tempted to go for red and dark green to maximise spread, what to you lot think?

I would go for Red and dark green !
No doubt in my mind...

ERIKK · 26-07-2003, 19:11

Me: light green and blue

anarres · 26-07-2003, 19:13

Blue has no costal cities so I am going for dark green.

After some thought I decide to go for red inner ring since there are more river cities than light green.

Dark green...and red : very good choice

I've had a few RCP practice games and theres no doubt, it is very strong.

yeah, you certianly lose a lot in placement but I guess the second ring corruption must be well worth it...

doesnt it have at least two?

edit: on closer examination: no

anarres · 01-08-2003, 13:52

Umm, I checked and it does have 2 pv!

Dark green it is anyway, since that will maximise available tiles...
