Hello and welcome to my first Civ 5 SG!
Without any preamble....
....our leader (and the game settings)!
Liz's UA is Sun Never Sets and gives a +2 movement bonus to naval units.
Our UUs
The Ship of the Line is a frigate with a more powerful ranged attack and the Longbow is an OP Crossbow with extra range (despite what the civolipeadia says) and strength!
Our starting location.
Two different resourses, on a short river but also tundra.
The difficulty is King and the speed setting is standard. I've usually been an epic player but it seems to really drag in Civ 5 (maybe I'll try some more offline games to get used to it.) I've also disabled the start bias as I want a bit more randomness at the start.
As you can see and probably guessed from the name of the thread we're going to be playing an Archipelago map to get the most from Liz's UA and her Ships of the line.
All victory conditions are open to us and I'm not going to impose any varient rules on how we play the game.
I have only played a few games of Civ 5 so far so I hardly claim to be very good or to know all the ins and outs of every facet of the game. This will very much be a learning game where we can all try to take something away from it.
I run a fairly easy going ship with a 48/72 got it and play. I do request that you try to post some form of pre play plan [PPP] and wait for feedback before you play, after all we're suposed to be playing as a team!
If you need skips or swaps then please let us know early to try and minimise the flow of the game.
If you've played in an SG with me before then I'd love to have you onboard, but if you haven't or this is your first SG then please don't be shy! I'd ideally like a five player roster but I'll be willing to start with 4 (inc. myself).

As you maybe aware there is an issue with running Deluxe edition saves with a regular edition install How Firaxies ever let this happen is beyond me. I'm running the regular edition so the opening save should be ok for all players. However if you are using the Deluxe edition your still welcome but you will need to use the save converter.
I will be autopatching my game as we go along so look out for this as well if you have turned this feature off.
