[SPOILERS] Oxy and suttree save the day, again!

[Kurumi]

We have no idea about absolutely anything, welcome to the world of magic!

[Kurumi]

Me and HBHR both agreed that FIN and EXP would be great to get. Problem is, this will be insanely difficult unless we are first. We did not talk civilization yet, but that's to be thought about when we see the start (techs are important). Of course there are always good civs like India, but y'know, need to see the start!

[HBHR]

Sure, since tech trading is off we must prioritize research, and a FIN leader is a must be, and, if the Plako's words here: http://realmsbeyond.net/forums/showthrea...#pid400911 are the last one, we can assume the following:
- the civs start far away between, so early rush is not a good choice. I think we have to grow peacefully. Early UU are not good choice, except fast worker, of course but early UB would be great picks (terrace is the best, methink)
- There are enough water to boost FIN trait
- There are enoug lands to expand and growth, so EXP trait is very good pick, and CRE also. ORG only if emperor level (i'll love Darius then)

FIN leaders:
Pacal EXP
Darius ORG
Willem CRE
Elizabeth PHI
Hannibal CHR
Mansa SPI
Ragnar AGG
Huayna IND
Vicky IMP
Wang PROT

Surya is EXP and CRE, so looks like a good picks also.
Have i forgotten another strong trait combo?

If we go on Emperor Darius is something I'll be pushing for.
I am up for contact pre-optics, I misunderstood that statement and now I understand it is about being able to swim to everyone before caravels!
We can be Eagle&Condor team, based on coat of arms of Poland and Columbia!

I'd leave difficulty up to the mapmaker.

[HBHR]

OK

[Kurumi]

Done by the way. Also, I will be gone from 18th of August till end of August. Expect me in September, meaning that I can't make turns in that time.

OK, this mean we need start to talk about first turns choices (first build, first tech etc) of course, we had to wait until the sneak leaders/civ picks. But we can start listing our leader/civ preferences.
btw, ¿what about banning the AP? I do not care about that, so plz, you decide

[HBHR]

Oh, and we need open a team email account. Any suggestion?
