I haven't played the game for around half a year, until I started on a low-level Game of the Month a few days ago. Coming back to the game has been strange, but as usual it hooks me in. I'm honestly not very comfortable at Deity, and usually don't find all that much fun due to the few options one have compared to lower difficulties (immortal alone is like a different game). But maybe it should be tried out anyway. What better way to come back to the game than to have my face stuck deep in bloody mud!
This is the only start I generated, and it popped up with Hatshepsut, which is considered a strong leader. It caused me some consternation and I wondered about re-rolling, but let's go. Maybe there won't be horses nearby, so we can play the leader instead of the UU
Quite regular settings.
The map looks okay I think. Where would you settle and move the warrior?
Personally I don't like to settle or found cities on green hills, but it's not like there are any options here without spending a turn, so maybe SIP is best? The PH south of cow can be an option I suppose, and then it makes sense to move the warrior there first to check if there is anything south. Moving away from the river may not be wise, though, as typically we need some commerce (cottages), and there is nothing on display right now.
Thoughts?
Feel free to play along I suppose, don't know how dedicated I can be with real life getting in the way, but if you do, please post updates in spoiler tags so others (and I) can play without getting information we shouldn't have.
Edit: Game two: Alexander of Greece

With COP26 starting any moment, a surplus of forests is nice I guess
