I will, as soon as i pick it again ... not sure if today, though :/
Can anybody do anyting from this start?
- Thread starter NihilZero
- Start date
I'd classify it under 'slow' start"
This reminds me of a game where I started with a city with 2 rivers running parrallel to eachother with flood plains on either side, a cow and abit of forest. Floodplains for maybe 3 cities. Stone abit south. After some exploration, I couldn't find an ai town for ~20 tiles away in any direction from my perfect corner. Jungles forests and 95% green tiles. It seemed ridiculously good.
I quickly found out that I was on the same landmass as Genghis, Montezuma and Isabella. H
ow cool is it when all 3 of them attack you at the exact same time with 3-5 axemen and some chariots? NICE JOKE game creation engine. 
Anyway, I played it a couple of times and it was truly an impossible start. None of them seemed to ever want to get a religion to spread around. None of them got alphabet before killing me (no way to bribe them on eachother with techs). They were too far away to block off with towns. I played it on Immortal and Emperor. The AIs all start off with a couple of units and go RAWRRRRRRR almost immediately at the weakest target (you).
Simply put, truly impossible game anywhere near your difficulty level. Probably mathematically impossible on Deity.
I would have saved the map but no one would have believed that I didn't WB it.
So perfect and then so painful...
