i thought for sure you were going with Arabia with 15 votes. Im glad you took Aztecs as I like them a lot, but i was a bit surprised. that start screen looks interesting too.
You will have to pay the AI 100 gold per era differential. So, if you are in Modern era and the AI is still in Renaissance, you have to pay 200 gold worth of value. Could be 2 iron (90), 1 horse (45), open borders (50) and 15 gold, or 4 coal (180) plus 20 gold, or 1 luxury (240) with the AI paying you 40 gold, or any other combination that adds up to 200.
Of course, if the AI is that far behind you, their beaker run rate may be mediocre, making the RA that much less valuable (in BNW, RA payouts are limited by the lesser of the beakers produced by the two RA partners) and therefore less cost-effective.
What I'd like to figure out is what metric the AI uses later game to decide how much "honey" the human has to throw into an RA deal?

Toa + Floating gardens is damn impressive lol
Spoiler :Too bad I doubt you can really get a religion on this map for even more food !
Turn 100 peaceful 5 city tradition
Spoiler :
Spoiler :I sent my first there because I wanted to grab land before the CS does. There's a good chance someone on his 3rd/4th spot would look there and find little interest.
By the way I forgot to say that I got ToA on turn 27 Pretty sure the AI was angry !
@consentient
I have just found the PERFECT map with Brazil... (jungle start, sure, but in my playthrough I settled on turn 11!)
Let me know how I can get it to you...
I've played to 105T.
Aztecs on this map are super OP.
67T -finished Tradition
70T 3 cities NC
97T education
@Acken
I really hope you will chose SV
You settled five cities, I four, really want to see what is better.
I used to be an advocate of five cities for SV but after my sub 200T tries I prefer four, especially in quick game as this one looks.
My NC was a bit slow compared to yours and I had to dip into commerce, I'm almost done and think I'll get 215ish. We'll see if my ToA rush pays off Also I had no pantheon
