As should be obvious from our banner, we are engaged in deep tactical discussions. Rivals, begone!

Current deals

TheArchDuke: 20t rolling NAP, borders defined in this screenshot for the duration of the NAP

Azza: t71 NAP, for the duration of the NAP I may settle the two tundra hill sites and he may settle anywhere else

Xenon: t50 NAP, just expired

Waterbat: t69 NAP

[Sian]

details can be changed but the start should look something like this

Game password is "kitty"

Start looks good, lends itself to a number of early tech paths.

Rambling ideas on the start as follows:
1) Worker: Farm corn => pasture cows
2) Warrior: Sent exploring for an early expansion site along with the other warrior, hopefully along the river for an easy connection. Hoping to grow to size 2 on the warrior.
3) Settler: Sent west to settle the awesome expansion site we will no doubt find without a problem
4) Work boat: Growing to size 3, letting us use all 3 early food resources
5) Worker: I'm sure there'll be stuff for it to do

We'll need AG and AH early, followed by Fishing. I notice that Sian generously assigned us the Khmer civilization, btw. War Elephants it is!

EDIT: I will be using this post to keep track of all deals with my rivals.

Dedlurker checking in,

I'm not convinced about AH->Fishing, if our second city is inland then leaving fishing until after mining and BW could be a better choice. Although, that's just a (probably wrong) gut instinct.

[slowcheetah]

So, sixth pick. Where are you going to go if Willem's claimed?

[Catwalk]

PHI, AGG, IND and SPI are all appealing, I think I could go with either of those. Ragnar of Rome could be fun.

[slowcheetah]

:kiting:

Sounds good

[Catwalk]

Which civs would you pick for the other 3 leaders?

[slowcheetah]

I'd go really bland and just pick one with Ag/Wheel

I believe they are Egypt, Ottomans or France. Maybe France instead of the Ottomans, the musketeer has more versatility than the Jannissary. Ind would be strong if it has not already been picked, otherwise SPI is a lot better than PHI in my opinion

Bloodlust vote for Ragnar of Rome! Xenu, I have faith in you, c'mon!
