I have cropped everyone's screenshots to remove tile bleed. I decided I didn't want anything to ride on people's differing abilities to read the fog of war from a screenshot. I will say however that the lake you see is only 3 tiles big, and that the bottom right grassland is riverside. I've not cropped out any visible tiles. Naturally, if you choose a hunting start, your warrior will be replaced by a scout.

To repeat what I posted in the organizing thread:

Here is some very important general info, which everyone gets:

[SIZE="3"]The map is 30x30, has toroidal wrap, and has NO saltwater.[/SIZE]

Settings are as you discussed - standard size, emperor difficulty, and no barbs being the main ones to remember.

Good luck!

Hmm, the settling location looks decent enough to settle. Plains hill and a plains forest in the second ring to get the bonus Worker hammer if you're Expansive. Having to go for fishing is a little meh though (although this makes Civs starting with Fishing worth considering again).

Whatever you end up with, you'll probably want to move the warrior onto one of the hills first to see if relocating the settler makes any sense. The start kind of looks like it was build to settle in place though.

If you start with a Mining Civ, you could go Worker/BH first and tech fishing next to chop out a Workboat. Otherwise choosing a Civ with Agriculture and/or Hunting and getting AH quickly to pasture those Pigs is probably your best bet.

Going to probably go for fast granary+library+dumbfast expansion(OR AT LEAST WITH these settings i can try right!??). Thinking vultue dudes+early coutrhouses+agri/wheel starting techs. guess okish?

jajaja

Hmm.. probably a bit late to say this, but Vultures are beaten in combat by regular Axes, and the early Courthouse comes from a tech that lies on a path Creative allows you to ignore for a while.

[Cull]

Hmm yeah...

Just checking but sum starts agri/wheel right? I was just looking at civs and the only ones with that I saw that were decent were sum/egypt. I though sum better, but iunno if I missed any/if thats even true. /meh. The other choice was mining/fishing IMO, but I thought agri/wheel was bit better than mining/fishing, but now I'm kinda regretting it with the fish+many hills. ZZZZZ

[Cull]

Met all but one civ.

Game real boring.

[Cull]
