Overall impression: Rich land, friendly neighbours.
I settled 1E. Second city on th PH west of the southern lake. Third city with corn and sheep, east of the horses.
By 1AD I have 6 cities, 30 POP, built SH, Oracle and GLib. Did the GPriest-slingshot to civil service.

Everything is peaceful - neighbours are faraway. Trade routes are a bit difficult therefore.

At 15 AD I have 5 cities, pop 22, with a settler about to plant himself. 137 bpt @100%, 118 bpt @88% breakeven. Only 1 foreign trade route, by roading to a Spanish outpost. 27 techs if I include Music, due next turn. Oracle 1060 BC (taking Civil Service), GLib 195, Parth in about 6 turns. Score 465 (#1) with Roosey in #2 with 347. I settled SW, #2 went W with cow and 2 spices, #3 NW with corn, sheep, horse, #4 S with sheep and 2 gold. I sort of beelined Monarchy to get sorely needed HR happiness and have pumped out 11 warriors for garrisons, plus a scout and chariot to explore. Oh, and the original warrior popped a hut that gave him 5 XP, which I used for Woody2 to speed exploring.

I'm mostly killing time until the Feb BOTM so probably won't finish this, but will try to remember to submit something before the deadline. Maybe I'll die early on the hard BOTM and come back to this.

At 15 AD at 7 cities and 31 pop. Unlike Daijin7 not very impressed by the richness of the land, but I guess it could be even worse. Built SH, Oracle for CS and the Pyramids. Glib and Parthenon both half way done. Isabella gobbled up all three early religions in Madrid, so switched to Confu for OR bonus with everybody but Isabella pagan.
