Up to turn 60 now in my First Game of Gathering Storm.
Barbs seem to be less of a problem this game.
Not sure if that is a change but they are not mass spawning like the last 2 years or so.
Could be just a random thing this game by chance for me but they only spawned a couple units.
If they would of spawned like before it would of created many more problems for me.
Harvest was easy as usual.
I got it up on turn 22 using a Faith hexagon and God King.
I have been chopping anyway but not using Magnus or any % cards since it isn't supposed to work.
I wanted to try Pingala anyways.
Pretty nice boost of an extra 10 Culture per turn for about 35% of my game.
Not sure if I will use the +1 Science or not on the next upgrade.
I decided to steal Kabul since the AI likes to let you do that.
I also decided to play nice with the AI as you can see I am DoF with all 3 I have met.
Too bad since two Setters are in range right now but playing nice is safer for my first game.
The mountains are ridiculous this game.
I can't get through to scout.
Annoying. Gonna have to try get through or wait for Cartography.
Only 5 cities up on turn 60 and I have been kinda hard building districts for the most part.
I have some sick +4 and +5 Campuses here.
I want to settle the desert area for the Iron but not in a hurry.
Most likely going to have up 7 or 8 in the next 10-15 turns.
Faith bought 2 Builders and a Settler so far.
Got the Classical Golden Age pretty easy... 24/24 exactly on turn 46.
Deity, Pangaea Map, Standard Settings, Natural Disaster Setting 2
No Reloads or Replaying Turns is my standard rule.
I dunno seems like business as usual for me with the exception of abusing chops.
I have had 2 Floods nearby so far
One Tornado that missed my tiles.
Two Volcanic eruptions that didn't do any damage.
So far it seems worth the $31.50 to me.
That is subjective though.
Here are some screen shots....
