While was having some fun on Great Plains (Cow) map, run into beautiful moment where both Rome and Constantinople (both Holy cities) were captured by barbarians.
Immortal raging barbarians are amazing!
Also the thought of that giant city only having that tiny reservoir lol.


I think this is the tightest start I've seen so far (it's Pacal and Mehmed, if it's not obvious from the colours). And then there's Monty and Toku somewhere close by as well... (And yes, as you've probably noticed from my screenshots, I like playing as the Persians! And no barbs, hate those suckers...)
