Well, I can't take this sort of decisions at 1:15 AM.
Saving and exiting. Will sleep on it
Deity, standard size continents and islands, no modes. Scythia and Spain at war. I'm getting +1 faith for the pantheon from Armagh, but it is Phillip's Amani there and he's the Suze.
My original plan, before meeting other AI, was to kill Nazca and Kandy first, because I'm sick of religious victories and religious CS near me all the time. But now..., o, the temptation
What would you do this turn?

The normal Earth TSL is the same, the names don't match the locations.Nice one Firaxis. This is on Firaxis huge Earth map. I'm not expert at Geography, but...
notice the ocean name by my caravel.
edit: I just noticed Pacific is in other areas as well. My perception skills are -1 it appears. The North sea is labeled Pacific ocean.Well technically it's the area North of the Great Britain isles, but close.
That's the huge map? Spain seems identical in size to the normal one...

You can tell the whole thing is really huge from the minimap. It is just that Europe is always going to be quite small if the map designers just following the IRL portion.

I'm just sad because I was hoping that Europe would be larger than that. The English suck on Earth TSL because there is no space to grow until you get the ability to send settlers across water - I was hoping that Britain would be somewhat larger so you can grow a bit before then. Seems Europe is going to be even worse on the huge map for loyalty issues...

Japan got an even shorter end of the stick: It looks like it was thrown into a garbage compactor.
Take the settler, terrain seems rough for spain to chase you. Even if you dont get the settler out you can just delete it and spain should be hurt alot.
If you have something to sell to scythia you could buy a warrior to keep Puel Mapu safe (maybe ask for gold to join the war?).
Is Spain in a golden age?

What’s loyalty lens showing you? I reckon settling at the swamp at the east end of the mountain pass will give you a loyalty hit that’s hard, but if you could hold it and get an encampment up, that would give you a nice foothold for a later war against Spain. However timing is key, you generally don’t want to war him in Renaissance era, although I guess if he’s in golden age your UA might help you.Well, I can't take this sort of decisions at 1:15 AM.

By win, do you mean it was a 2 player game?

yeesh, tell me about it... it's like 6 tiles, pretty much just room for one city!

It's a bloody long run, that's the problemJust take the Settler and then run away. I am no pro, though, so my strategy might get you killed.
And Kandy could close the road any moment, although they have two higher priority tiles elsewhere to expand, so maybe the danger is not so high. But then Phillip may move his Amani there, and that would be very sad Scythia would reward my joining with 1 gold or 20 DF, because Tomyris give DF 0 value for the moment. But a good move nevertheless, allowing to avoid an unwanted surprise war and a strike from her
It is -20 there. Classical just started and Spain is very unexpectedly in a Normal age. Scythia in a Golden one.
I thought about it and decided to let them live for now, although I'll keep my scout around, just in case. It is awfully far to bring the settler back, settling near Spain is not very tenable, I kinda want that pantheon sooner and anyway, with the new Mapuche you don't want too many self-settled cities. I was planning to go Borg from three cities, so maybe I'll stick to the original plan. If Spain settles, so be it. Another city 'not founded by Mapuche' to assimilate into the Collective, when I'm ready
Anyway, thanks for the input!

There's so much space that Pericles' settler is two tiles away from yours.

Weird game. Seemed to cause a bug - the settler moved back and forth but the warriors seemed unable to, even to protect the settler. Something similar must have been going on elsewhere on the map - two players died on the same turn a few turns in (Pericles being one of them when I grabbed his settler).
Jadwiga promptly lost her capital - and then Warsaw - to loyalty pressure from me and Germany, the latter wiping her out as Norway had taken her third city.
Also, I think a Huge TSL map should be Huge enough to allow all city-states to be placed in the appropriate spots. I didn't realise Brussels was in Cornwall.
I may actually be able to go for Domination in a 12-civ map - there are 8 or 9 civs left at this point and although Harald's being very stubborn (and has higher tech than I do) at the start of the Renaissance he's just holding his remaining cities rather than being a major threat. He does seem to have finally expanded to Britain so he may have three or four cities left, though. Germany seems short of resources so could be a good next target once my alliance runs out - the only other civs I've so far met are China and Mali. There might be someone in island Southeast Asia or Australia, but I suspect most of the rest are fighting over the Americas and that Africa and mainland Asia are otherwise empty.
