Kossin, I guessed you typed your apology too soon 
I don't think it was a tough map, so much as it being tough luck. I would have thought that the barb animals would have bought you some more time. Can someone tell me where I can find when barb troops spawn and when animals disappear from the map and it becomes exclusively barb troops?

Yea =\ it's bad luck obviously but losing the other warriors contributed largely.
Guess Soirana's game might have been easier after all
That one had no barb problem surely
This is one reason why I don't hate coastal starts so much. Yes, they may be a little slower since you usually go for a workboat first and don't get a worker as early, but on the other hand, you'll have at least one direction that you don't have to worry about barbarians coming from. 360-degree fogbusting is kind of tough.

Am I Napoleon?
Let me be the first to say "Bwaahahahahahahahahaha!" 
Unlucky there, let's try that again.

Hannibal, now talk about a great leader after Tokugawa.
Nice UB, amazing traits, ok UU.
That's unlucky!
I mean, you will lose battles at those odds obv, but doing so at the start is just lethal.
I guess losing your warriors early didn't exactly help either, putting you behind on fogbusting and forcing more warriors to be built(?). Looks like slightly behind on research as well. And I guess losing your exploring warriors also prevented you from getting out an early settler before producing archers (which is possible).
Moving the settler makes sense, but makes surviving barbs 1 turn harder as well.

Swarming barbs at start are lethal. So bad luck with those and bad luck with the odds. Bummer Kossin. I know how you feel. Just played a game last night as Victoria. Brennus got the great wall next to me and I got swarmed by barbs. Dozens of resources pillaged, 5 work boats destroyed, copper taken by Brennus culture and loosing to many archers (on forrested hills and in cities with walls) to barb axemen made me quit the game.

Keep it interesting
Sorry you got &%##^ by the RNG at a crucial stage. I think the map will make the game doable if you can get to midgame...
Oh well!
Oh well!
