[Spoilers] QBrick's 2015: A Smeg Odyssey

I'm tempted to go toku.Agg/Pro seems pretty decent: Fast granaries, prickly units, and the cheaper maintenance for later game.

Imp might also be fun. So would Ind but any wonders besides the lot of settlers wonder makes us more of a target than contender most likely

[BRickAstley]

Also settle in place should be good. I see this being a high production capital, should be nice down the road. Mines and lumbermills everywhere!

[Qgqqqqq]

Remember we get three traits with civs. Sure, Toku would be fun.

Don't know about IND. I mean, it's a different dynamic, but I don't imagine it having too much effect, and it costs a bit to implement.

[BRickAstley]

I think we can go with Toku and see what civs are left for us.

[Qgqqqqq]

Agreed, made the choice in thread.

If you want to detract it, 100% do so. I only posted because we seemed set and it would get the game moving along.

[BRickAstley]

Yeah I'm fine with it. I don't have any other strong feelings, and this is all brand new enough I don't feel like there is a best choice out there.

I kinda would like IMP for our last trait. Are any of Carthage/Spain/NA good in this mod?

Carthage and NA are alright, I suppose? I can't get behind Spain, personally, they just feel too late game. Carthage probably wins unless we want Stonehenege - how accessible is culture in this mod?

[BRickAstley]

Agg gets half price barracks which give 1 culture each.

If it weren't for that already I'd say to find a good CRE civ for easy mode border pops.

Though we could go with CRE Japan with two move maces....

[Qgqqqqq]

Ah.

Definitely not NA, then. What does Japan do?
