6otM47 After Action

[DanQuayle]

Nice game @DanQuayle! Looking at your screenshot of t65, it's very impressive. pop 22 with culture per turn of 33. I guess you prioritized settlers? or did you capture any settlers from anyone?
And which city was your first expansion? the one to the north? or west? What do you think would have been the optimal first expansion site?

If I recall correctly, I hard-built 2 settlers, rush bought 1 settler with gold and I stole 1 wandering settler from China.
My first expansion was the one to the North. I put it in range of the desert to eventually place the Pyramids there.
If I were to replay, I would probably place that city in range of the jade and incense, but most importantly I would probably put my first expansion at the south location and rush buy a granary and improve 2 early farms/pastures (low housing).
That way I could get 2 good early campi and faster Printing Press. Since its immortal, I didn't need to go HS first to secure religion.
