What type of explorer are you? When you send your first first brave warrior or scout out into the wild, how do you instruct him? Do you tell him (for example) "Seek the borders of the southern wood", or are you more methodical and militeristic, odering your troops to march in a spiraling pattern outward around your capital city? Do you send your units out and say "Everything west of the mountain ridge is my teritory", or do you make your first priority discovering all your neighbors?
Are these bits of fanciful role-playing injected into your games? I will often scout out a certain distance from my capital in the (very) early game, imaging my great empire streching from the desert west, to the sunny coast south, to the 'Hells Pass Mountains' in the northeast. I will then attack any entering settler in my territory, assuming the units protecting it are not way overpowering (three archers vs my spearman, for example).
I was just wondering if any of you do this (or similar things) in your games. Obviously, this is not anything you are going to do when on immortal, but for a fun game, it can be well, fun.
Right?
