Thanks Greenline!
I am Spi/Org of Cataphracts; I tried playing Byzantium in many games, without much success, but guess I have no choice but to rush them again. With Classical start it's just 5 techs to Guilds (Monarchy / Feudalism and MC / Machinery / Guilds) plus HBR and IW. Probably CoL as well for the usual flip-flopping between Slavery and Caste. I can't get to triple-promoted phracts out of the gate, so probably can get by without Theocracy
Capital in place seems a no-brainer; will try to find horses for the second city, but we'll see what early scouting brings - obviously I will try to settle the 2nd city and start getting income from it as early as possible
Other than that, I'm going in without much of a concrete plan (but hey, we're still discussing the settings, don't think we even talked about barbs yet). Just try to remember how the game works and not make too many mistakes, that's all I have at the moment
