It is about 700AD and I'll soon have my contient cleared of rivals. But on the other contient lurks America. I'm Hiawatha of the Iroquois. Playing C3C. They are two or three techs ahead of me and have been building wonders like they were little fountains. Tons of 'em. The other civs on their continent aren't really ahead of me. I have four luxuries in abundance: 3 ivory, 4 incense, 2 gems and a couple of one other, I think.
I got a pretty bad starting position in plains/desert. Should I do a palace jump?
I am trade-savvy so should I try to research a different tech path than America and try to leverage my luxuries and future resources to get ahead of them? I don't mind going to war with them and they are only a few squares away. I researched navigation to start with and so did they, so getting at them is not a problem. I traded the Incas for gunpowder but it cost a lot.... I can post a save later if this is too vague. I'm running a mac, don't know if that matters as far as that goes.
