Double Secret Probation

deleted due because save didn't have correct VC's
 
Mongols in space, just took the second start I rolled. We have 2 cities, 2 scouts, 2 warriors, our starting techs + C. Burial and we've almost researched alphabet. We have Ivory, we appear to have a reasonably large island to ourselves, and the Delta House will be able to spawn enough drunken settlers for as many toga parties as we want. wheat on flood plains works well.

Emperor, sedentary barbs, 60% 'pelago, everything else is random, I have no idea who our opponents are.

Here's mine. Igor rolled Shaka starts since they kept coming out better than the others. 70% pelago, restless barbs, lots of random crap in there. AI are random. As is the climate, age and hydrographics (just showing off so you wouldn't think idiots are stupid.) I was really lazy about MM and the 2 scouts were "E" guys. Not a 6 cow, but it's got potential.

*recently obtained new computer, still trying to get the imaging thingy working - sorry about the small screenie (it's not about size but how you use it) ;) :lol:

nope she & my daughter went to the beach for the weekend to visit a friend. They've been gone since Friday morning. I had to go to work. I stayed up til the wee hours of the morning last night....shhhhh don't tell her. ;) She'll be back tomorrow so I had to squeeze everything in over the weekend.
 
culutral link + respawn = off

we are THE FLYING DUTCHMEN and our rivals are unknown.

*footnote to self - this is save 3 :D
 
@Sw, That's Carthage not the Hittites. ;)
 
I like SW's map the most so far. I'm a sucker for strange maps (and beavers). :D

I've got 3 SGs to play within the next day or two, so I'll play my start(s) after that.
 
Waiting on clarification.

not sure what you want clarified :confused: The hops? :mischief:

play 20 and post a 3000BC save. Your choice on the parameters except it must be pelago. All VC enabled but Igor is looking to be sent to the moon.

@all - my vote is for SW's save 3 if nothing better shows up.
 
All VC enabled but Igor is looking to be sent to the moon.
Ohh well then mine won't be able to be used. I didn't read that last statement about all VC's enabled :blush:
 
I chose the Ottomans. 60% 'pelago, roaming barbs, climate is normal, temp is warm, 4 BYO. All random opponents with normal aggresion.

I started 1 NE of where I founded Istanbul so I moved off the BG, getting lucky with a Wheat in the center 9. I started Pottery which took a quick 10 turns, I think. I popped a hut to the north which gave us a map I believe. Not too long after, I saw a barb attack something in the fog, which happened to be an exploring Persian warrior.
So, after Pottery I started on WC and I plan on doing an archer rush before Xerxes gets Iron.
The worker is chopping the forest to get Granary quicker, and I think a 4-turn settler factory will be able to be set up.

I'm still leaning towards SW's, just because it's such a strange landmass.
 
Will roll some starts tonight. Pelago with choice of 60-70-80% water, standard emporer with sci civ.

IP's would be a cakewalk if archer rush works which looks likely given Xerxes unfavorable looking land. SW #3 does look nice for a tougher game. Any game will be easier if you are alone or can knock the neighbor off and get all early contacts with suicide. I think I'll play Xerxes to diminish the seafaring trait.
 
Not able to do any play last night due to a hottie meating. If no one posts by tonight I'll get some rolls by 7pm. If not let's play SW3
