BOTM 115: Tokugawa of Japan.
[img=right]http://gotm.civfanatics.net/civ4games/images/botm115civ.jpg[/img]Hello. This is DynamicSpirit, with a special message to the AIs playing in this game. It's a deity game which is really nice for you because it'll mean you'll be able to stomp all over the human player with ease. I know you're not very intelligent so I've tried to help you a bit. The human doesn't have a particularly useful unique unit, and he'll probably be dead long before he's able to build his unique building. Goody huts are on, so you'll be able to pick up lots of nice things from those. The human probably won't dare touch them after the first one because of the fear of unleashing hordes of warriors. Be aware that the barbs DO NOT start with archery, so you'll only encounter barb warriors at first. So if you wanna use your free starting archers to take lots of barb cities, feel free. Though I guess on deity, you'll expand quickly enough that there won't be many barb cities anyway. I'll be pretty disappointed in you guys if you haven't managed to wipe out the human before 1000AD. But be careful - these humans can be very cunning and resourceful.
Just remember to have fun! (Because the human probably won't
