Do you get gems in the east or is fur the only commerce resource there? I imagine you went big on food as you can have 4-5 food resources in the east.
Might have to try one over there...

I think Monarchy is better if you have a food-rich start. At one other game I had 20+ population even before I got Drama.once you hit Drama you're set imo. I kind of beelined it after masonry.
I don't whip at all (never go into slavery)
I don't bother with drama/Globe. I also don't ever go into hereditary rule--but Dynamic is right, use it if you have a big food start.
I hold at around size 9-10 until I get Forest Preserves.
I was also able to roll an amazing start, i wonder what would you do with such a start wasting time. It's 7FP (one have fur), 4 hills all of them were foresed (2 desert unfortunately), an oasis, a lake (bleah), and 7 more forested tiles (mixed desert/plain and 1 grassland). You have iron and oil outside BFC, no alluminum or coal. I played lizzy cottaged and forest preserved + mines on hills and only wonders i build were mids, sankore, great lib, oracle and late taj+mausoleum. National wonders NP, IW, epic poem. , again 1850sh. meh.
If you guys want to try this start here is the initial save (i settled 1E):
Yeah of course oxford, forgot about that. Parthenon i tend to skip as expires with scientific method i doubet it grant more then 1 GP in differenceOne quick item - no Parthenon? And no Oxford? Those are as close to a requirement for this as anything I've seen.

Sometimes a gems appear but not often. Spice is more likely. (IIRC) Personally I like deer and fur too and agree with WT on slavery.Do you get gems in the east or is fur the only commerce resource there? I imagine you went big on food as you can have 4-5 food resources in the east.
