I read speed is Normal, by the way, not Epic.
Thx for that info, I have mis-read, the original game was on Epic and this one is on Normal.
My question however was, and I hope that someone will answer it, because he won't get any advantages from me by not doing so because I'll play out 1-2 test-games otherwise, if a Chariot-rush is needed or if even a Warrior-rush is feasible. With a Warrior-rush, settling on the Marble becomes a very good option, with a Chariot-rush however anything except SIP would be stupid. SIP also has the very strong option of the GLH in the capital and I assume that Prince AIs are simply not able to construct any World Wonders so one could capture them so we probably will need to construct everything ourselves. These are very important questions. Ofc., Marble is the better spot, but if the trade-off is, that one could have an extra capital spot when SIPing + the GLH earlier, then Marble + Settler may become very unattractive. I wish we had info on how far the nearest AI is, because this is probably what decides about this early, maybe game deciding gamble. I really like that we're able to see that much of the mainland, but what it actually does is, that it makes the earliest decision + luck the most important factors, and that's not good imo. . Maybe, the info on the nearest AI should be published therefore.
If you go for culture btw., don't forget that SIPing may be the only chance for you to get Buddhism or Hinduism, whichever you prefer. I don't think that we can rely on getting any religionspread in this game and if we do again it's luck.
I hope that someone will spare me playing those 1-2 test-games or that we'll get the info on the nearest AI, because I don't like playing out test-games for anything but will have no chance, because this is the 1st time I play Prince since I know CFC (so the 1st time I ever play CIV with at least partly knowing what I'm doing) and I'm not willing to play several hours on a game that I lost in T0.
