1.0 gram - Ancient Age All-Stars (C3C - Modified Rules)

[grahamiam]

i thought i'd have some time this afternoon to generate saves but I will not. also, tonight will be busy as my parents are in town with my godson (2 three year olds in the house! where's my asperin? ). hopefully, i will be able to post a couple of screens tomorrow that we can vote on (EDT, USA). Sorry about the delay.

 

[Ankka]

No problem.

 

[gozpel]

Yay, it only took me erhh...12 minutes to open this page. Seems like my internet is finally working again

Since grahamiam already picking maps for Celts, I cast my vote and say Maya, just to throw in a spanner in the works.

Just kidding, celts are fine.

 

[Ankka]

12 minutes? What have you done?

 

[grahamiam]

ok, got some time this morning while the parents are at church and the kids are watching a cartoon

start #1

 

[grahamiam]

#2 - flood plains-r-is

 

[grahamiam]

#3 the highlands, with friends

 

[Ankka]

Both look good, I'd go for #1 though.


Edit: I see you posted more, I'd go for #3 or #4.

 

[grahamiam]

#4 - i sell sea shells down by the sea shore

 

[grahamiam]

hold on ankka, i got 6 to vote from

#5 sugarland

 

[conehead234]

I like number 3.

Edit: number 4 is also good.

 

[grahamiam]

#6 cow and river

 

[Bede]

Won't venture an opinion. My last starts were less than promising,

 

[Ankka]

Now as you posted them all, I think I like #3 the best.

 

[grahamiam]

ok, friends, post and let me know. i'll check in later (around 8PM) so we can start this.

btw, i survived last night just fine, in fact, the p's brought lobsters and beer! might wanna keep them around, eh?

 

[conehead234]

I like 6 and 3 the best.

 

[Ankka]

Yes, they have a possibility of a settler factory of 4 turns If I don't look wrong.

 

[Bede]

Okay, having seen them all, have to go with 6.

 

[denyd]

My choices would be:

1 - Sea Shore (#4)
2 - Cow & river (#6)
3 - Sugarland (#5)

Start Position Thoughts:
We need Iron and a lot of shields to crank out Gallic Swordmen.
Judging by the mini-maps, it looks like we are on continents. Any mod to the Carracks?

1.Coast/River/GameForest...good mix of food and sheilds but where would the iron be?

2.River/FloodPlains...good mix of food and shields but no coast in sight and only 2 hills for iron in sight.

3.River/Wheat/Mountains/Hut...High probability for close Iron, coast/lake 2W of start, and a second river SE of hut. Worthy of consideration.

4.River/Coast/2 Heards/Hut...Food,Shields,Iron deposits, 3 river townsites in picture but one drawback, best capital is 1N delaying use of cows by 10 turns.

5.River/2Sugar/GameaForest...Higher on food than shields with no clear direction for Iron or settlement.

6.River/Cow...Balance of shields and food until forests are cleared. Nothing special at all.


My vote is for #4.
