Hmmm. What WILL I do...

Try to win, of course!
I've played the first turn. I'm trying to decide what my first tech will be.
The start is barren:

3 forests, 1 wheat, no other food around? Jeez.
BTW what victory to pursue? Culture seems to be the easiest and considering this is Always Peace, it seems to be the thing we absolutely must do. If any others go culture they will beat us if we're not focused. So do I go to 9 cities and stop there? Might be easiest. It's also why I'm wondering about tech. Do I go for a religion? Or do I go for mining/BW to bolster my expansion. Not sure yet. With no wonders, culture and the culture slider will be the main way to reach cultural victory. One thing is though. is it even possible without the wonders? Also, normal speed, and map size make Legendary culture very difficult I think. I closed the game before checking so I'll do that next time. Have to go for now.

Oh, sure. Cottages will get there just fine. Remember that no other players have any wonders either.

Why's that? You don't get the cheesy discount on the thresholds of Quick speed, but culture goes just the same on Normal as any slower speed. And a normal map is less convenient for city count (small map needs only 2 temples per cathedral; large has more space to build 3 temples per), but that's hardly a make-or-break factor either.

Is cultural victory enabled?
I have to run.

Space only was the option decided.

The victory options look open, or maybe I'm missing something in the settings.
EDIT: AH yes. Space only! I see it now it the agreed settings. It's CTON too! Didn't even notice.  That's a good thing though. Also I'm much happier that it space race only. I'll grab a religion later then.

PBEM5B start. Cyneheard planted in the (smarter) position 1SW with more forests.

You don't need great capitals with Joao of Inca.

Well thanks to Krill's words of wisdom... I've moved this time:

I give up the PH and the EXP worker bonus to do this, but I gain 2 forests and more river tiles for more cottages. Hell if I know whether this'll pay off but I think it'll be interesting. I do love me some chopping...

And.... I restart again since I have to repeat the moves I made the first time. No Mulligans on RB...
