I started playing this map last week-end and finally reached 1 AD after what has felt like an excrutiating voyage :lol: I hope to find the will and energy to complete this map, because it's been forever since I've brought a game to completion and the "harder part" has been done (maybe, perhaps...
I have played a whole 11 turns before I found it appropriate to stop and assess. I approve of your leader and map choice :goodjob:
This looks like both a very strong and open ended start. I'll do my best to play at least to 1 AD and will be interested in seeing what others would do.

I didn't find any cute timings but this is what I played (on Monday, I gather) :
T37:
Lulz whoah ! You're all skipping Agriculture :lol::lol: :crazyeye:
