Rolled next:
Spoiler :




It's amazing start for build the House of Wisdom and the Spiral Minaret in Egypt;)
 
I could try this if it ok that I'm new to SoI.
Building all world wonders sounds difficult. It seems like we have failed this already.
 
I do not know what you mean by that. I can see in the screen shot that several wonders already exists. Or can you build more then 1 of them?

There are 9 prebuilded wonders in RFC:SoI. So i mean only unbuilded WWs.
Spoiler :

Constantinople: The Hagia Sophia, Theodosian Walls;
Alexandria: The Lighthouse of Alexandria;
Makkah: The Kaaba;
Medinah: The Prophet's Mosque;
Jerusalem: Dome of Rock, The Church of the Holy Sepulchre;
Bamian: The Buddhas of Bamiyan;
Al-Kufah: Imam Ali Mosque.
 
Let's go to discuss first steps strategy:
- placement of the cities in Egypt;
- relationships with Makuria;
- placement of the cities in Levant and preparation for the Crusaders;
- the development of science;
- build wonders only in Cairo or not;
- espionage.
 
I suggest Cairo on the wheat and don't-remember-name on the citrus instead of Domyat.
I have my best games as Fatimids, when I have killed of the Makurians quickly, since they have tendency to backstab you, unless vassalised.
 
I rolled new start with 6pop of Alexandria;) without Abbasids
Maras(it grows to 15 in 1220AD) on horse in N.Syria, Irbid on horse in Transjordan
Farama(on citrus) really better that Domiat?

indy spawn:
Aqaba ~ 1000AD
Akra ~ 1040AD
Tartus ~ 990AD
Homs - ?
Sis ~ ?

African cities - Phrim, Meroe, Soba, Dongola, Para, Kuraymah, Axum - razed/saved?
Other african city-spot: Aydhab, Massawa, Kekora, Debarwa, Tiyo(om insence), which better for our goals?
What about next: raze Axum, rebuild 1-2W cow (it's cover 2*coffee, silver, cow) or 3W Axum with losing silver but adding two grassland spots near river.
P.S. Exhaustion(horse, 2*barley, cow, copper, dates) in Nubian lands annoying me strong.

Domyat is useless without Kizil Kule and Kizil Kule will make the Hejaz camel city a monster. That's why I usually go with Farama.

I really like Debarwa as spot, it surely has the biggest production than the others.

I usually used Domiat for marksman's draft:rolleyes:

What about Raithu?
A port city on the Sinai Peninsula(border province) can grow up to 11 (not working copper hill, ~21:hammers:) or 10 (working it, ~28:hammers:), Genoans and Venetians Merchants like to settled in this city, not required for UHV.

Debarwa's max size - 8 without working gold and silver, on lvl 6 Debarwa can working both mines with stagnant.
 
Max totals for companies*:
The Karimi Family** [0,5:gold: per gold, wheat, spices, cotton]: 26,5;
Venetians Merchants [2:gold: per incense, silk, spices ]: 78;
Genoans Merchants [1:gold: per salt, cotton, silk]: 51;
Knights Templar*** [2:gold: per gold, silver, incense]: 56;
Estado da India [2:gold: per spices, pearls, incense]: 66.

* at 1520AD without resources have emerged as a result of any events /random;
** does not matter the location of cities;
*** required catholic state religion.

P.S. I guess Sur (Tyre) or Al-Iskandariyya win the race.
