I'm sure you find out pretty quickly that you're isolated. You also are lacking immediate access to any strategic resources. Was this a problem? How did your initial contacts go? And how are you set up going into the MA?

Well, I am playing this as my second game of Conquests and I am not sure of the rules of this challenge really. So forgive me my transgressions. I decided right off to try a military solution only to see no iron or horse. So I sent out 4 of the little irish boats and none sank so I found everyone pretty quick n easy. I did no research spending to Writing and 100% spending after that and managed to trade well and am off to Fedualism now (in 17t), with 10 towns built on this island. The 11th was over on the iron source (you know where). I have the cash to rush it and one harbor here already and am building the Lighthouse to make a trade route. If that works? Never done it before tho.

Also building another wonder and the Forbidden Palace. Missed the trade coastal wonder so I am building the one with the apple. Now, we be sending settlers over to the horse resources but I think thats a waste of time because I wouldn't be able to connect those to make knights. Which leaves me scratching my head. Oops. On the job training.
