COTM155 The Code of Hammurabi

1. "The Guards of the Seven Tablets" has MP ability?
2. Is it mine already under The Guards of the Seven Tablets?
3. Can other AIs use The Code of Hammurabi is a Government?
I've play tested (not to the end) Military, Scientific and 20k approaches with satisfying results. Take some time to think through what the changes really imply, especially the Government!
I'm expecting a new record on 20k with this map and just hope the result is not too far off the normal. I promised ignas, remember?
The Government is the food bonus. No other food bonuses are on the map except Wine and, I guess, Sugar. No Wheat, no Cattle. For no one.
I didn't get any date, I didn't play to the end. I started new many times in order to try out many different strategies for different goals. So I never played long after The Republic. Most games are settled by then.
1 NW is onto the tobacco. The original post says, "Some of that Tobacco is sweet as sugar?" This makes me wonder if some tobacco tiles give a food bonus. If so, I wouldn't want to settle on it.I'm inclined to move 1NW to get an extra bg and forest.

I'll want to check out the possibility of food on the tobacco and whether the water to the east is fresh or not (I expect it is a small lake, but one can hope) before deciding where to settle.
Clearly we need to get alphabet ASAP. It is a crowded map. Maybe we'll get lucky and meet a neighbor with it early on. Raging barbs shouldn't be too bad with Hammurabi's Stele built and extra hp on bowmen, and the "foreign bounty hunters" bit suggests that we have plenty of neighbors to trade with and to help deal with the barbs. The catch is that Hammurabi's Stele goes obsolete with monotheism, which means it will likely disappear right at the barbarian uprising as we enter the middle ages.
This game looks very interesting.
You are right, I don't know how to check in despotism. Possibly the civilopedia entry will tell us, but not likely.I wouldn't want moving and would settle in place if tobacco has extra food (but how to check that in Despotism?). I might consider moving if the water is salty and that would sacrifice shields but you would get Colossus.
