    ALC Game #9: Incas/Huayna Capac

    If we assume there's jungle to the north, then Q should explore south. I doubt there's a decent city worth taking in the jungle.

    ALC Game #9: Incas/Huayna Capac

    I think you should settle in place. All this FPs would allow to whip Qs much quicker than working most of production tiles. Mining, therefore, is not important, unless there's a gold tile nearby. The river allows for a second city nearby sharing resurces with litte road building needed. Start...
