Ali Ardavan said:As our most frequent OCC player (ElephantU) has already alluded to, do not try OCC here. An early landing with a small number of cities is a much better choice. You could determine as much by black clicking around the starting location. One more thing you could also determine from extensive black clicking: there is no land within the reach of a trireme around your home island.
Actually I was just commenting that an OCC without ocean access would be a bad idea, but there were other locations in the black that might work. Now that you throw down the gauntlet, though...
