I settled on the grass hill. Settler went there on T0 to look for those flood plains and when it saw the pig it decided to stay there.

Was rather lucky with the huts and popped both BW and IW! With IW in the bag for praets and with the obligation to kill Zara and Gilga (a rule that was altered a bit later I just saw ), decided to have them removed asap, so both were gone by 1AD. It netted the Great Wall, which was not inconvenient. With stone and marble did the wonder hogging myself and got Oracle (CS), mids, and for some reason ToA. MoM, Parthenon, GLib and GLH are all under construction. As it was still up for grabs founded Judaism quite late (550BC) as well as Confu. 12 cities for 62 pop.

sorry about that. Rule was always clear in my mind. And putting it in a spoiler isn't best either. oh well

Did the hill & archer I gave [these creative leaders] them make any difference?

Anyone letting them live will be at a disadvantage.

Whaaaaaat???

In a game in which we have the powerfull Praetorians? OMG!

I popped Agriculture (soon I started to reach this tech) and 92 gold... It was also good, but no comparison
