Don't read if you're the jealous type!

I've just found an "interesting" start. All I've done so far is settle to pop a hut, which revealed the following:

I think I might have to play this one . The only downside is that it's Huge Pangea Sid map...

With that many cows and at least 1 luxury within sight, I don't think you will run into any problem.

I hope you're right Moonsinger. I'm just a little nervous because this is my first Sid game, and it would be a shame to waste this map. Oh, and there's another cow just East of the top one!

It's a bit food poor but I think you'll manage Good luck Dianthus...Keep us posted. What victory type were you thinking? Milk?

Since it's on a Pangea, the tech race will be pretty fast, but not too worry...in the worse case, just borrow a lot of money and techs then provoke them into declaring war (if you don't mind exploiting the AIs a little bits, of course). Good luck!

I'll see how it goes. My last game was a 1030AD Demigod Diplo win with near 0 research. I still haven't got a Space game in yet. So, if I'm feeling brave I'll do battle for some territory to reach the dom limit, if not I'll just go for the "easy" Space win.

That's a 3 turn settler pump waiting for you to get it running!

Awesome start! Why don't I ever get starts like this on SID?
