Cultural Victory Challenge #4: Pericles
This is the fourth of the Cultural Victory Challenges, in which the goal is to achieve a cultural victory, in part by utilizing the traits and unique building of the leader in question. In this installment, I will be playing as Pericles.
Here are the settings for the challenge.
And here is the starting location.
Not a bad spot for the first city. I'm thinking there should be one other food resource to the east, should I settle in place. And although it would be tempting to move 1W and get more riverside territory, I think settling in place is the best option. There's a good chance that the hills to the west will be in a spot for a production city and I don't think there's going to be additional food found if I move the Settler 1W.
The Cows obviously mean that Animal Husbandry is a priority tech, and Bronze Working is obvious as well. There was talk in the pre-game thread about pursuing an early religion, so shall I consider heading to Monotheism after gettting any needed Worker techs?
Also, what I usually do with a civ that starts with a Scout is build an additional Scout to explore and find the neighbors. Then I start my first Worker when the city grows to size two. Sound good?
The saved game is attached for those who want to play along.
