I think this game might be a really good game to try going up in difficulty for those looking to do so. Emperor Difficulty No huts:

So I caught the civ bug and ended up playing this game to it's end. 1765 Domination win, was 1 civ off of conquest. My fastest win date ever! (not counting duel conquest wins). After going through the start with @lymond I realized pretty quickly that I play way too fast in the sense of real...

@Jellybug That is very helpful actually I'll see if I can try and get some optimal overflow going in this game with whips and chops. I'll almost certainly mess it up many many times but hopefully I'll get it down by the end of this game.

Sorry to take so long to reply to this got caught up in school stuff. I attached my second go around for the 2120 save. I think I have fixed the things that I needed to and I definitely feel better about this one than my first go around. Amazing how much of a difference the little things make in...

Ok after looking through your save I realize I was doing a lot better than I was giving myself credit for! So I can see that when I first couldn't figure out what to do with my worker I should've roaded to connect where future cities would be going so that they are connected ahead of time. I see...

This is awesome thank you so much @lymond **Quick disclaimer I realize that this was a lot of moves quickly and generally that is a huge no-no with shadow games as these are the most important turns in the game, but I plan on playing this start over and over again until I get everything right...

Wouldn't going wheel before BW defeat the point of the 1E move? I thought the idea of the 1E move was to get more forests for chopping out settlers? Or is the idea here that there is enough production + Imp that I don't need the chops for settlers and can use them on other things later like for...

It was an interesting thought. I don't consider ideas like that ever when concerning the starting techs, and while it's probably not relevant in the majority of starts it's something to keep in mind for me in the future. So AH first is the general consensus. What about sip vs 1E? Both look...

Ok did some quick experimenting with going agri first @lymond . The worker comes out when we are 8 turns off of AH. 4 turns for a camp on ivory leaves us with 4 turns to build a farm and then head over to the grassland cow.

@lymond What would be the plan going Agri first? It would come out 3 turns before my worker so I would have to spend time farming a tile or two before AH is up. I'm not familiar with how much agri will reduce the cost of AH but normally AH and worker finish at the same time. Would agri not slow...

Oh I'm definitely going AH first the agri in the screenshot is just a filler from clicking a random tech. Neither of those I kept I didn't do any scouting or anything the whole point was to view the 2 potential capitals easier and then decide which one seems better for learning purposes. Once...

I'm curious about the difference between settling in place vs settling 1E so I decided to settle both of them and do nothing further in the game except view what the capitals will look like. To sum it up we give up 2 grass hills, a plains hill, a grassland tile, and a forested grassland tile...

Ah makes sense thank you

@lymond What is the difference in this case between cease fire and peace treaty? I always assumed they had the same effects

I think I like just moving to the west like @lymond and @Pangaea said. Realistically the scout isn't very relevant to my settling and I probably won't find much of worth going straight to the plains hill. I decided to move the scout SW first and the SW again as I think this reveals the most...
