Leviathan
I am still in.
My favorites, in order from best to worst:
4. Didn't like at first but it grew on me. I like being coastal in case we need to build ships but still having enough land tiles to work. Tons of production and sufficient food to utilize it. Lack of gold and luxuries so that will have to be settling priority. I think this start favors aggressive play and early puppeting.
1. Good production and lots of forests for chop rushing early. May need a CS ally or HG for enough food. River and Silver should give decent gold. Kinda wary of starting inland as we might get surrounded by aggressive opponents.
2. Good food, tons of gold, decent production. I think this map favors a science approach. Maybe early NC plus PT and lots of RA's to try to slingshot to Chemistry for early Cannons. Kinda hesitant to see what the rest of the land looks like.
3. I like the Marble and Sugar. Should have decent food and gold and ok production. But there is desert south and I think I see tundra north. Inland start worries me. Just seems a bit too risky with so many good options.
5. Not enough gold or production to make up for the distinct lack of food. Just doesn't do anything for me.
