    News: TSG60 Announcement

    One note that I discovered: Mountains are crossed with a movement of one and the auto move doesn't take into account the damage. I lost 1/2 my army in a single turn with the auto path moving everyone into a mountain range to cross a large expanse of hills/mountains.

    I was a coward, I hid my early cities behind my cap. One interesting thing is that Spain is ignoring my new city by the river and marching to the cap instead. My cb are in a shooting gallery.

    Lots of pantheon choices: sea, stone circles, plantations, even lots of jungle tiles... Hoping for a close by faith cs. Do you think an elephant rush is even feasible?

    You are correct, I was just looking at the shape. I think I will explore the lake for the river and look for some nice marsh or floodplains to build a science city. There won't be any hidden resources, but it is a good start. Stone circles, papal primacy seem likely religious choices.

    After that diety challenge, this should be a bit simpler. I bet that is a lake, not a sea. I think silver for a starting location, stone circles for faith and scouts to find those cs.

    100, I have juet picked up Stonehenge and have collected most of the others. The +15% makes a huge difference. I need science and military. Second city is in Hiawatha's lap and he doesn't like that. 8 policies so far, split between liberty, tradition and piety.

    I am debating between the + culture pantheons or the 15% discount on wonders. Since I want gl, oracle, petra and terracottta army it might be the best move. The time savings should be very significant. The only real downside is the time delay for camps before selling lux.

    I might cross the river to get the mt. in my second ring. I will look for a chance to pull a Yoinks! achievement, marry a cs with 15 units. I might try a liberty tradition opener for culture. Last time I did and racked up lots of culture that way.

    Attempt #1 ended in retirement. Billy decided to take me down AFTER stealing the rest of my techs, but my real downfall was the lack of coal, oil and aluminum. T252 - I retired when GW Bombers were pounding my capital. Even if I had rushed to get triplanes, I had no oil. Milan had some, but I...

    Well, things aren't going so well. I am number 5/6 in most everything, but I think that is because someone someone on the other continent is wiping out other civs. 2 Capitols lost so far. The Dutch seem to be mostly #2 and Cathy is #3, mainly due to losing one of the 3 wars those two have...

    T 171 also. I was severely delayed by my scattered forces searching while crossing the seas, too many went right instead of left. Persia took a long time and Austria built the Great Wall, but a well placed Conquistador + great general fort put me right on the edge of their capital. I might even...

    It wasn't spectacular, but 312 turns. The Ottomans got a late game lesson in quality vs. quantity. We had similar army scores, but his wave of Jannisarries was broken by my 2 GW Infantry and 2 Gatling guns. That was my only war, other than a couple proxy battles feeding units to CS allies being...
