I'll post more detailed thoughts later (when we know more about map), but my initial thought on strategy is that with tech trading turned off a strong economy would be very important. However, we'll also need to keep military strong enough to at least deter aggression. So either an early UU, or an aggressive leader might be good, but a Financial leader might also have a strong advantage.

This is the current poll:

Last-Minute Poll 19: Espionage
*No restrictions
*Passive espionage only (spies allowed but no spy missions)
*No spies
*Espionage disabled

What do you guys think? I'm not a big fan of Espionage, but I find it fun to balance EPs between teams that you want demographics or more information from. I am inclined to vote:

No Spies > Disabled > No Restrictions > Passive

We're just about up for the snake pick. Here is what has been selected thus far:

athlete4life10 - Willem (Cre/Fin)
Broker33 + Plako - Ghandi (Phi/Spi)
Jowy + Yazilliclick - Pacal (Exp/Fin)
DMOC + Nakor -
Iamjohn + Kodii + Zevis -
Speaker + Sullla -
Mortius -
Danski -
LiPing -
Regoarrarr + darrelljs + sunrise089 -

What do you guys think? We should probably select our leader first. Maybe someone with a lot of cheap buildings? I know that mh and I wanted Sury last game, but it was selected right before us, so we decided on Louis XIV, and we ended up being the only Industrious selection.

DMOC and Nakor have chosen Darius I and we are up!

Financial is shaping up to be quite popular, with three Financial leaders chosen already.

Of those remaining, we have Elizabeth, Hannibal, HC, Mansa, Ragnar, Victoria and Wang Kon. HC is probably the best option for the remaining Financial leaders.

If we don't care whether our leader is financial, I think it would be worthwhile to consider Suryavarman, who is Expansive and Creative. We would get a lot of cheap buildings, cheaper workers, and free border pops, allowing us to spend that extra production on settlers and military.

The other powerhouse option for cheap buildings is Zara Yaqob, but the Apolyton game is still fresh for me.

Alternatively we could choose a civilization first.

What are the secondary traits of remaining Fin leaders?

There is also an option of imitating Krill by choosing Incas now and an Exp leader on the way back.
