Hello,
Can someone give an advice how to play it ?
I had such start in MP several times and I can't see any strategy how to play it.
It takes too much time to move initial settler out of jungle( 6+ turns usually).
If settled in place capital has extremely low production(0 mine luxuries, 0 pastures, 1-2 hills in second or third ring or no hills at all, the only improvements are plantations and farms).Capital can be on a coast, but without water resources or god of the sea is already taken by another player.
Additional cities are partially in jungles too and tiles improvements take ages.
Any competent neighbor is capturing me with 4-5 composite bowmen and 2 melee units.
I can give a fight, but with low production capital I gonna lose in the time of crossbows anyway.
Now I'm just quitting after initial scouting with warrior and scout, because I feel can't do anything with such position.
Any pro tips ?
