BOTM 78 First Spoiler - 1650AD

[Htadus]

Wow, some very cleaver games played so far.

I completely forgot about the free wins. Damn. But no big deal since the barbs left me alone and I left them alone except getting my pillage LB killed by a barb mace and a LB. I kept the barb city under control for the first 30 or so turns and then forgot about it. Next thing I know there were barb Maces roaming around just about the cutoff date.

very funny game
. this is what happened in the beginning:

Some questions to get you going:

1) Did you remember to change civics before ending turn 1?
2) What civics did you start with?
3) Where did you settle your settler?
4) What was you first tech? Did you finish it yet?
5) How many and what kind(s) of Great People have you gotten? How did you use them?
6) What did you do with all the forests? Chop them into Trebuchets, or something mundane?

7) Have you been peaceful?
--Any battle victories or defeats you'd care to share?
8) What are your plans?
9) Have you built any World Wonders... which? And WHY????
- Did you build them by Chopping or GE popping or some other way?

10) Do you agree with this statement: Suprisingly few decisions to make at this juncture, but very crtitical ones.

1,2)

hereditary rule,bureocracy, serfdom,mercantilism, organised religion (but realised the mistake and switch to paci
3)
floodplains
6)

7) i quickly realized it would be too risky to take polynesian with given resources and techs so i decided to expand peacefully. i kinda managed to block washington.

decided to take them all with better techs
