Hey all. It's CHEESE! presenting the 33rd edition of the famed Noble's Club!
Our leader will be:
Washington of the Americans! Usually the less-noticed of the American trio, he still has strong traits, Expansive and Charismatic, giving him not only extra happiness AND extra health, but also -25% experience for promotions, and -25% hammers needed for workers! Hooray!
His unspectacular UU:
A marine that gets 1-2 First Strikes as well as free March. Good if you get that far, not good if you don't...
His very nice UB:
Happiness from Singles, Movies, and Musicals, as well as 20% more gold. Very nice if you get that far, but that is the problem with America.
The start, a Big and Small standard map. No real tweaks, just a few little balances. And here it is: (your Warrior might not be in the same place)
Quick Spoiler comment:
And now for the good ol' copy and paste doctrine:
There are no hard and fast rules here, fun and learning are our primary goals, but we do request that you update your progress at various points in the game, using the Spoiler feature of the boards.
Tentative posting updates are suggested at:
4000 BC (starting thoughts, no spoiler required for that discussion)
1000 BC or so (how you decided to progress up the early tech/build paths, which AIs you have met, etc)
500 AD or so (after establishing some cities and a possible plan of action)
1200 AD or so (mid-game, Lib race, wars or peace, or whichever happened or didnt, met other continent if applicable, etc)
1600 AD (or when you have decided on a course of action and a specific victory condition)
End of game (Victory!!! or defeat, no shame in losing, especially if you tried a higher level. Learning is what we focus on, not fastest win or biggest empire)
Remember, these are only guidelines. What we really want are your thoughts as the game goes on, so if your strats don't fall into line with those dates, feel free to adjust your reports accordingly.
We also welcome players to ask for specific game advice, as we have a number or stronger players who lurk and help out with solid tips, and of course, we help each other. Replies to specific questions should also be in spoilers, with a simple "@" in front of the person the answer is directed towards.
Special Thanks go to Bleys and TMIT, who really made this series a great one, r_rolo, mapmaker extraordinaire, who is just so flipping awesome, and all of you for playing.
The WB-save is attached (zipped, they are bigger than standard saves). To play, simply download and unzip it into your BTS/Saves/WorldBuilder folder. Start the game, and load your favorite MOD (if you use one, if not, I suggest checking out the BUFFY MOD), select "Play Scenario", and look for "NC XXXIII Washington". This allows you to play with your favorite MOD at the Level and Speed of your choice. From Quick-Warlord to Marathon-Prince, all are welcome! We stuck with the name "Nobles Club" because it has a cool ring to it.
Anything wrong with the WBsave, tell me!

pretty impressive for Emeperor but Monty founded hindu. I convert anyways so at least I know war is coming and i won't get 
I also convert to caste system letting New York taking off as a GP farm. I had three scientists up and running.
I'm gearing up for war though with monty with maces and cats.
). After that, I had the continent pretty much to myself.
I'll post some screenies later.
