Hey! 
I've kind of got settled in my ways a bit with my opening strategy, I always try and focus on building my economic plan probably building a wonder or two before I start to expand properly, but I always end up with tiny empires (which do okay) as I prefer to play as peacfully as possible.
So I fancied having a go at an out and out rex today to claim as much land as possible peacefully. I chose Victoria, for the bonus on settlers and I heard using financial when rexing can be handy in keeping the maintenance at bay. As I don't have a lot of experience with rexing I thought I'd post up the start and save as a challange (similar to the seafood start thread I started).
If you fancy having a go, that would be great.
The Challenge?
Get as many cities out by turn 100 as possible.
Restrictions?
I feel to keep this real you should have atleast one military unit per city and one worker per city. But thats it, anything else goes.
This is the start...
And heres the best I seem to be able to do...
It must be possible to get more than four cities out (including the capital), but I'd like to see how as I'm struggling to get more. If you don't have time to have a go but want to chip in with some tips on rexing thats also more than welcome.
Thanks.
