Anyone here ever have fun with this? I can't play a Civ without using their unique features so I need at least SOME marsh/flood plains for my Netherlands start. Here is a rundown of a recent game I played which was just awesome.
Immortal, Epic as Netherlands and I had EIGHTEEN tiles to put polders on (I also had legendary start set)
I snagged Temple of Artemis early and settled a second city next to Uluru to get a religion. Fertility Rites as Pantheon and Swords into Plowshares and Feed the world were the growth beliefs I chose. It was just ridiculous how powerful my capital was, snagging 15 different wonders (including Macchu Picchu and Forbidden Palace) by games end and having 63 population.
I also had 60gpt+ from Tithe throughout the game as my nearest neighbour (Shaka) did not found a religion and I could spread to him easily. By turn 300 I had close to 500gpt and amassed 10k by the Atomic Era for an easy diplo win. I had allied every City State for over 100 turns before winning.
In hindsight it almost felt like cheating having such powerful use of a Unique Improvement, but it was fun nonetheless.
Anyone else here play with high rainfall as the Dutch?
