As per usual I want others to make my hard life decisions for me.
Map situation is that i start with gems as my monopoly and also several iron deposits.
My plan is to forward settle songhai to establish an easy to defend border by keeping him behind a mountain chain.
So for pantheon I think god of fire. Gives 1 prod cul and faith per mine.
With gems ill be upgrading mines quickly.
Need to get extra production to pump settlers.
Also gives forges +2 faith which i will also get early to boost those mines. Forges also come sooner in tech tree now.
The other pantheon i was considering was god of wisdom to keep up in tech. Has served me well in past. But really think I need to boost those early mines for my quick settles.
Also plan to get pyramids due to my early high production. Followed by a quick second settler.
With pyramids im considering ceremonial buriel to macimize my great people boosts. So extra golden age points for expending gp from pyramids. And extra faith and culture from ceremonial buriel based on cities. And i plan to easily convert the worls to my religion.
I really dont feel strongly about any of the founder beliefs to really welcome everyones thoughts on good founders.
When it comes to follower im either thinking going all buildings like church for spread and culture and mosque for spread and science.
Or i can go all pop benefits like creativity for culture per 3 pop, and or diligence for 1 prod per 2 pop, and or scholorship for 1 science per 2 pop.
Now i say and or because as byzantine i get that extra bonus belief.
Really not sure how to maximize my benefit of that extra belief. Cuz it can be anything. Extra pantheon, founder, follower or enhancement.
For enhancer i kind of always go zealotry. Its just too good. Turning high faith into production by buying units with faith. And better tben buying with gold cuz they get the buildings xp bonuses!
However i can gwt two enhancers due to byzantine benefit. And can get a super early enhancer.
So again need guidance here. Is there a combo of enhancers i should consider? I dont think i want zealotry early since ill be using faith on profits, misionairies and buildings. What early enhancer is good?
I have 6 city states nearby so can benefit from abode of peace for its increased pressure, increased base influence of 35, and increased city state rewards.
Mendicancy also seems viable for its +2 culture per city. And ill have around 8 early cities so plus 16 culture early seems good.
Anything else im missing.
Please plan my civs future. Its citizens depend on you!
