BOB DYLAN'S ROCKIN OUT!
Everyone hates cramped openings. Especially me. I'm starting as France (I don't really like them, but I do Random Civ, large map, random everything). After early exploring, I find I'm on a peninsula (sp?), at the tip of it. England is blocking off the mainland. Continued exploring reveals that I can fit maybe a good 7 cities before running into England. Seven is NOT enough cities for me, and I find that early wars slow down science at critical times and give others civs a chance to take a tech lead. What are your tips/strategies for this type of opening?
