GOTM29- THE SMALL BOX
Pre-Game Analysis:
MO_hamadas Ghandi of India/Purple/Supreme/#7 (last/KeyCiv)
Emperor difficulty= 2 content (temple=4,Mikes/collos=7)
6 civs, Restarts on, only Babs/Green/#2 settled immediately
Small, Flat world, grassy start (71,41) SE corner
Purple & only one settler, no techs means rest are equal or worse
Draw start in MapEditor:
seed of 33 (mixed) or 65 (banded-Whale/S,Fish/N)
river to SE (into corner?)
continent #1= no black-clicking; large primary island
Required: Spaceship finish
Could be OCC, EL or Smash&Score (difficult with Restarts)
OCC: 4-special SW or 2xN (North has huts too)
(SE corner gives longest delivery distances)
EL: lotsa grass, rivers nice, some forest, 4-special central(N?)
Smash&Score: early Horse/Chariot/Archers from huts= Go North
Options:
-settle immediately (2F/2Tr/2Sh), make Warriors to explore
-move to river (3 turns)
-check out 4-special to SW (5 turns)
-move north to pop huts, check northern 4-specials (4+ turns)

AD1 STRATEGIC REVIEW
-8 cities, SSC WLTCDing to 12, rest sz 3
-4 settlers improving land
-got MarcoPolo, Colossus, Shakes
-3 civs Enthusiastic, 1 Cordial (Greeks: who else?)
-got all maps, but little useful tech
-looks like ocean corridor across bottom of map
-2 trade routes in SSC; station city gives road bonus
-more good city plots around, but focussing on WoW and SSC dev
==========================
Maybe the summer weather has some of us out and about, instead of where we belong? 
. When I discovered this (at the time I established by Hellenic embassy), I promptly built diplomats and bought the rest of the cities they had settled in around all of those terrific rivers!
After assimilating 
the Greeks, the Carthaginians entered the game on a small northern island. Looks like a good trading partner/pet civ!
, trying to rush it and am pre-building another wonder and several food caravans.
