They´re river tiles nonethelss. ;-) (was talking about the triangle grassland hill, the marsh and the grassland /w stone in the centre of the pic)

Nice! Thank you, @leif erikson ! What do you guys think where to settle at first? I really don´t know, thinking of the Olives S/E, for the free ressource and 3 possible early "Iteru tiles"... but eastwards there seems to be few production... thinking of on the cotton, but no fresh water...

True story, but you wouldn´t want the "everything" from king lvl AI, i guess.

peaceful CV @T176/77 1150/60AD 1282pts - How many cities did you settle or capture? 20 in total, incl cap, 2 from germany, 1 from norway. - What did you prioritize for research and policies? Culture stuff, but haven´t had a real masterplan. :undecide: - Did you bother with religion? Yes...

Nice little Island Plates you have here, Knowtalent! :thumbsup: - Where did you settle your cities? Cap 1NE, 2nd city north, next to the river, 3rd (stolen German settler) close to Piopathingy. - What did you research and which policies did you choose and why? Pottery -> Astro -> Irrigation...

Honestly, with this start/setting, I got no clue what to do....

Love there is a little bit about discussion here, despite the "normal" AARs :thumbsup: @BarbarianHunter Might have been the relic cap, but I´m not 100% sure if captured HS´s Temples turn into Prasats... :confused: Might be the same strange thing as with Kongo when capturing English...

CV @t184 1230AD with 946pts 63/65 great work slots filled (neglecting 2 possible Artist´s works), creating 142culture, 252faith and 789tourism... really great, more Prasats would have done fine, tho not sure how many of the 24 relics/game were left... - How many cities did you settle, or...

Yeah, I wasn´t sending out delegations neither... not necessary on Emperor imho. I fend him up with a Warrior, a Scout and two Slingers...turning into Archers as Korea joined in.

No opening actions yet reported? :confused: I´ll try to resemble what I experienced pre t100... - Where did you settle your capital city? Your second city? In place, 2nd south, next to the elephants w/o fresh water due to Chinese loyalty issues, quickly followed by a no. 3 westwards next to...

RV t177 Renaissance 1160AD @738pts - How many cities did you settle, or capture? Settled 8 incl. cap + 5 from Scotland. - What did you prioritize for research and policies? For research, nothing special really. Early on Astro, Iron Working, Currency. For policies, Theocracy with Simultaneum...

Awesome, thank you! Was hoping for a religious one, as it´s the only VC I haven´t played often, and not since the big changes... excited about how this turns out! Not sure if settling in place near the the nice plains hill/woods tile and lose a chop or spend one turn to move a little closer to...

@emparier yeah, the prince thing was just to try out the early cultural mechanics on such a low difficult lvl (as i am not used to finish my peaceful games pre turn 200)... the deity science one I finished on turn 217, but it was really tedious against a Korea on the other continent which had...

@cas I am not 100% sure, but I think the Hypaspists GG bonus does not stack^^

normally, I don´t do "prep" games, but really couldnt wait... btw found out a kinda "bug": when you train a hetairoi unit and you do not assign the free promotion AND build the terracotta army then - the hetairoi does not get 2 free promotion but only one. but the XP costs for the 2nd (hard...
