Ridiculous food
The island may actually be kind of small for an empire (huge archipelago), but the capital should be pretty set

yea, just had a start like that with spain, except one city had about 6 loaves of bread in its surrounding tiles. I also had another city(same continent) with almost the same except it was anvils and bags o' cash a' plenty.

The picture is called sugar.png, and that's one stand of corn to the north.
Looks like a fun start!

I get annoyed by starts like that where you have super food but few hills or river tiles. You end up with this big bloated city that isn't very productive in either hammers or commerce. With Viking and being on the coast, that will help with commerce, but still not an ideal commerce city with it's lack of river tiles.

Ask yourself this question - 'If I have a floodplain capital, do I farm or cottage with the Civ I'm playing?'. Whatever your answer is to that questions, apply it to Sugars, especially when you have that many. Last edited by bhavv; Jun 04, 2012 at 07:38 PM. |

This ended up being a very tough game. My capital was super rich (I loaded it with cottages). As for moving it to where I did, I started off not on the coast. Had to move somewhere, and I crammed 2 more cities north of the cap on the same island (you can't tell, but it is a very small island. If I moved the cap even more south, I could have had 4 cities instead of 3, but that would be it).
Now to what made it super hard. I got sailing early, and choked off the expansion of my neighbour on the nearest island, securing half the island for myself easily (the neighbouring island gets down to one-tile thickness, so that is where I placed my city and stopped mongolia in its tracks. Then I get bronze working.... no copper. So then I went animal husbandry instead of iron (there was a pig by my expansion on Mongolia's island, and HA/Swordsman very similar, with HA > Swordsman vs defending archers. I think. Is immune to first strike > 10% CR?). No horses, for me or Mongolia (the latter thankfully). Decide, f*** it, swordsman it is, and I have no iron. And mongolia does. And my espionage just kicked in, and he is going for iron working *eyeroll*. I beat him with archers, but while in that war both the colossus and the great lighthouse got built. Should I just quit this archipelago nightmare? |

Errr well, that was a stupid post. Chariots are gained by husbandry, obviously, not HA, but it doesn't matter, after husbandry I still had no horses.

For the record, ended up winning the game. Think I learned the most about the game this run. Privateers cemented my win, allowing me to leverage my tech lead vs everyone (why do the computers seem to ignore naval techs on archipelago? I was way behind in tech at one point, and yet still the first to optics and astronomy, and the only to chemistry...). My kill count claimed 597 Caravel kills, and ~600 Strength 2 ships. I had a privateer with 147 xp.
