Spoiler :

The save is below (first file I had).

The reason I post this game is my at the start of tier two. I thought others would like to take this challenge...starting unhealthy, size 2 cap, all jungle, good times:

Spoiler :

I gave this game up a year ago (in part b/c as soon as I made any progress Yersinia came to visit). It took a long time (it took sooo long to get tiles to be non-jungle and a settler, and yes that's Acheron blocking the entire South front).

Spoiler Results of Tier 2+ :

Doviello risen:
Empire

Spoiler :

Core (I was > 1000 points behind the orcs with limited room to expand and was using wonders to close the points gap)

Spoiler :

Spoiler :

Revenge on the Orcs
