Had to take start with this one before I have again half a dozen unplayed DCs and I wanted to see what others are doing with Darius' versatility. To shake the start a bit I went for Liberty, didn't take DF pantheon, settled 3 cities & currently @~T60 waiting for the GA to kick start my war campaign.
I never thought I'd said this but it's nice to see decent maps & roughly sane AI for a change - I've been renegading on Fallen Enchantress & FE LH beta lately. Deity seems even easier than it did before the side tour but it's also easy to appreciate it as everything sort of works.

Light Cleric, I think you should LP it anyways. I subbed after your China game
I thought about it, but I do have foreknowledge of this map because I played it out a bit to see if it was a worthwhile DC. Even though it's been a couple of weeks I am a font of useless knowledge and still remember several things about almost every map I play for more than 30 turns
Wow, highest FE difficulty makes Deity look easy/sane? God damn. Of course from what little I've seen FE looks like it's more complex than Civ.
meh, start looks nice but it's deity so the following happened.

Well, I'm still very much a novice in FE passed through Normal to Expert levels but the 1st try on Ridiculous I thought I was doing decently when one Kingdom in Civ terms hit xbows on T40 forcing me to take a more in-depth look at the rules & concepts
and after that there's still Insane lvl waiting. It's a more complex and has some bugs but being still a beta it's not bad at all besides I really needed something else than Civ. Also when we finally got rid of the snow the yard is looking really sad & eagerly demanding some attention before it's Xmas again so even less time to play though a game of Civ now really seems like a quick & easy option compared to FE/FELH beta.Snow? Poor Finland
Its like 15-25 °C in Germany for 2-3 Weeks now and its awesome
Finally some nice weather after this quite long and dark winter. But due to this fact my civ 5 time rinsed through my hands like sand...well i guess i start this one somewhere near in the future^^

It seems I'm slowly morphing this into a FE & gardening thread so I really need to open Civ tomorrow for a change to have something relative to the OP to say. But yeah, snow, not that it has been much of a problem for few weeks now but the last spot left the yard only last weekend - nice pile in the shadows hardened by sub zero night takes ages to melt and this only 30km from the Southern coastline. This is the first week of the year with 15C+ temps so there's finally some summer in the air and moreover cycling/pedestrian tracks are cleaned from sand so the rollerskating season can start which really doesn't increase hours to spend for gaming.
