No idea how many it's been but eighty three seems about right.

Well, that means your total map quality on the two Totestras comes to just about average

And I could not be happier. I rolled Catherine (CRE/IMP), so my advanced start was actually very simple:

Discounted settlers that all pop their borders are great. I'm going to scout with the settlers a bit, too, although the corn/pig spot north that shares the horse with Terrible Capital works.

I LOVE being Catherine of Persia. After the scarring experiences with the Classical barb swarms in both 80 and 82, I can't think of a better leader/civ to handle them with horses at the capital.

What exactly do you do with that much dry plains? Farm the bits you can? Cottage it? Ignore it and just keep whipping back to size 3?

Farm and workshop post-biology/corporations. Short term, it's just made for whipping out workers and settlers.

Never mind, it's terrible. Immortals got ruined completely and markets (which I don't get discounted) make themselves less powerful (reduce maint). I hate these changes.

We begin, with a nice hut full of gold...

...and looks like the settler-scouts find decent city-sites for #2 and #3.

Of course, it's been weeks, so I immediately FORGET TO REVOLT TO SLAVERY. rant

Good beginning for me.

This was potentially very risky....

...but even though it popped barbarians, it was only one and that died fast. Showing that the two gold have enough food:

That's my early-game economy settled.

I really wonder where my backlines are, this is a lot of low-food but potentially very game-winniningly-green land. Gotta be neighbors somewhere, right?
