It's the fate of old games, no matter how good they are. A multiplayer game might be interesting, but it's pretty hard to coordinate. Civ multiplayer has always been something that I've played with friends at LAN parties and what not. I can't imagine how hard it would be to coordinate a time across multiple time zones.
As for Volanna, funny mention you mention her, because I'm currently playing a game as her.
I started up a standard fractals at emperor with one missing AI, and drew one of the most insane capitals. Wet corn, 1 flood plains, x3 cotton, Yggdrasil, and Remnants of Patria. It's nuts. I was hoping to go for a tower of mastery win this game, because I haven't done it before, but I'd like your guys' opinion on how to dot map my surroundings. This is one of the games where I get an insane capital and mediocre land surrounding it. I've attached the image to this post.
Tech wise, I did a beeline for Fellowship of the Leaves. I have Agriculture, Calendar, Ancient Chants, Mysticism, Exploration, Hunting, and Fellowship of the Leaves. Education will finish soon and when it does, I'll do a double revolt to Religion and Apprenticeship. When I do I'll be running God King/Religion/Apprenticeship/Agrarianism.
One thing, off to the west there's the Sheiam, but I haven't made contact with them. Whoever they are, they're not worth contacting, because they'll just demand stuff and attack me after telling them to go to hell. I'd rather stay an isolated builder for now.
That isolated start has meant that I've run into quite a bit of barb trouble. My capital has been hit by 10+ barbarians and Orthus spawned in the camp right inside my borders. He killed a good 8 warriors before I was able to finish him off. I'm making it a priority to push out more workers/settlers/warriors right now, because it's turn 85, and I'm behind in expansion.
So, where would you guys put your next cities, and what would you recommend tech wise? I don't have crafting/mining/bronze working/animal husbandry/cartography. How much more econ tech would you recommend or do you think I should start going down the arcane line for collateral? Or should I prioritize religious techs and start foresting my land? A lot of it would get better with ancient forests. Further north is jungle and the Dragon Bones on the other side of that. There are no seafood resources to the south either.
