Hmmm...
Initial guess for the map - four islands within the central sea of an Inland Sea map? Or a Donut maybe?

Is it just me or is it that the standard of playing is getting worse?

So, did you put TGLH in a barb city at the centre of the map?

That would be one way to do it...

This map is interesting but seriously what is Jkaen doing? The monument is so strange, HRE seems like an afterthought with that Inca thing in his title, and I have no idea what kind of tech path he's thinking. The other civs seem to have a good plan. I'm new here so I don't know all that much but is there a way to salvage that kind of start?

So if i'm guessing correctly, all a person has to do is to check the wonders of the world, and see that TGLH has already been built, OR far more likely, razed and destroyed?

I know this topic was talked out a little while ago, but I just started lurking this game.
I am simply dumbfounded by Jkaen's monument first build. It was even funnier to watch Lewwyn try to figure out what he was building in C&D, he didn't even consider a monument as a build. Combine that with a workboat second, and Jkaen is going to have a very slow start. It will be interesting to see if he can overcome that.

Noble almost has jkaen's build order pieced together in his latest post. A pity he won't be able to see that jkaen doesn't get any fail gold after he finishes Stonehenge.

He'll have to wait until after the game to find out then  I like how everyone is founding their second city for gold and rice. The best move I know, I just want to see their reactions after the game when they see how much their moves mirror the other's (other than monument first  ) On a side note, I feel like whatever team expands onto the donut quickest will win this game, or at least have a decisive edge.
@Krill - I really like this map concept, other than the perfectly identical starts anyway.

So 3/4 teams are going for the Oracle? Any ideas on who can get it first?
