Le settings:
Rocky Archipelago, Medium Sea, regular archipelago land, Monty
Prince

Variant-
We must protect the weak, (i.e. less than 5 cities) and stop the strong (i.e. more than 13 or so cities.) We must make everybody stop beating the snot out of each other. (The rarely used 'stop beating the snot out of each other' thing in diplomacy) Anything but domination and conquest vics are accepted. (Culture perhaps? :mischief: )

I'll post a save 'n start tommorrow since my civ4 compy is roasted.

Any takers? :p
 
I think we should move the settler 1 to the west so it will grab the whale and we could mine this plains hill.
 
If you want one more, count me in.

On the starting position, I'd strongly advocate against the move westwards. We'd lose fresh water access (2 health) and 1 production in the city tile (from settling on plains/hill).
All we gain is the whale at optics; there's another plains hill eastwards that we'd lose from the move, so no change there. In addition, we'd trade the 3 east grassland tiles and a plain in the north for sea, which is worth a lot less than e.g. a cottaged grassland.

The island looks pretty small, depending on where it goes in the east and west, we might be limited to one city til galleys. I don't know what worker techs we have at the start as Monty, but we should consider getting sailing soon.
 
I agree...

This is looking like a one city isle...

In which case we might need to bee line sailing...
 
Monty starts with mysticism and hunting. Which leaves me pretty clueless as to what to do at the start.
A worker would have nothing to do, husbandry would allow him to get the cows, but everything else needs bronze working to cut those forests. A scout isn't particularly useful when there's nothing to scout. Same for a warrior until barbs show up. I'd actually start with a barracks, simply because everything else makes no sense.
Tech-wise, husbandry first, then fishing, sailing, mining, bronze working, probably in that order. Unless the scout discovers any surprises.
 
You want me to play the first 20???

And if so, are we agreed on settling in place???
