Congrats bro! Haha, weird I always thought that guy was really good? maybe not anymore. It happens, like Lewandowski when he went from Dortmund to Bayern (frustrating!).

Seriously no game wrap-ups, no comments? what?

Wow I really gotta cut down on my play time hours. 10 hours supersova, congrats man that is impressive!

Yeah. More specifically, it leads to some pointless little islands, which then provide a further passage to where America started in this game.

It's in my post haha. Northwest! (North of starting location, much farther north than Japan) I may be writing "in character" but I'm not making this stuff up. Go look at the map collection in the database and you'll see what I mean about continent shapes.

Sounds good. Since it's a commercial civ it'd be nice to go for Science. I wouldn't necessarily consider that "peaceful" though. But yeah going for a space race victory would be nice. I can't even remember the last time I played england. The cheap harbors could lead to even more commerce...

Thank you for the spreadsheet but I have no idea how to use that!

What is raxes? Remember I can't build Marketplaces without Currency. Part of going to war is to be able to catch up sooner on Tech.

If you examine the starting location you will see that space is very limited. It would be wasting production to produe settlers in these cities that have no food bonus, keeping them at size 1-2 instead of 4 and building a military. Once again, I'm sorry that you haven't noticed but this easly...

It's continents. Hm I tried to get the slingshot but it just doesn't seem possible. This is a start from a COTM by the way. I wonder if anyone who played that was able to succeed in the slingshot? I mean it's Deity it seems a bit unlikely doesn't it? Which spreadsheet? That sounds interesting...

Thanks for responding! Haha, well, I don't think I would/should be the one to initiate the game as such. There are much more experienced players who it's better to entrust that responsibility to. I mean sure we could pool everyone's suggestions, yeah. As far as proposed settings, personally...

OK here's my write-up, I'm gonna put it into Spoilers just because it's really long and I don't wanna Great Wall (of text) this thread. Korea Part I:

Yes, but not without benefit to me. The passive builder approach has the added side-bonus of being an indirect baiting tactic for the AI to declare war on you. I'm always ready for that, and towns near my front will be response-ready. There is a great difference between military capability and a...

OK that was a long game! :c5trade: Game status: Domination Victory for Korea Game date: 490 AD Firaxis score: 5490 Jason score: 10875 Can't wait for the next one and please let me know where/when we're supposed to post a write-up for good times.

Well I don't know what others think, but personally I would really like less barbarians. Especially on higher levels, I feel like they strongly encourage a military-epmhasis playstyle. On Deity, Restless/Raging barbs force you to build up a substantial military- thus being less encouraging of...
