How about this start?

[Gliese 581]

I recently started a game with Huayna Capac, with the intention of going for early quechua rush + wonder spam. I'm used to playing and succeeding on monarch and has recently been attempting my first emperor win so I was thrilled when I got this start:

My my..

3 gems, 2 sugar, 1 corn and 1 clam, all directly workable? Sick!

I thought some of you here might enjoy the chance to try this game (I'm currently playing it and it's going well so far). I don't know how to link to a save game though, I suppose the upload procedure is the same but how do you link it?

As for the settings;

Number of continents are set to three, # of AI opponents are the default 8, all victory conditions are enabled.

Gah, if only you were American this would have been good fodder for the annual "things I am thankful for" holiday discussion

There is a UPLOAD link in the bar at the top of a forum page

Anyone celebrating thanksgiving can include this start if they are so inclined.

Yes I used that via the posting link, but how do I link the save once it's uploaded? I used the "insert image" function when I posted to link my uploaded pictures..

Go down below the message window when replying to "Manage Attachments".
Click that, "Browse" to find the starting save file on your machine in that new window.
"Upload".
Then, within that window, it will show as a current attachment.

And I think that should do it?
"Submit Reply" and it should be in your post?

Hope that helps?

Incas + 3 gems capital + epic

So you're saying that a "Noble" player could take this start and run with it???

Please post the starting save!

Yes indeed, thanks alot! I've edited my post to include the save now. Let me know how you fared if you try it.

Incas + 3 gems capital + epic

Exactly, if I don't get my first emperor win here I might as well give up.
But I've failed like half a dozen times in a row now so I'm happy I got this start!

PS: Capac is really a monster, great traits, but mostly bc of the quechuas who I think rival even the mighty praetorians in utility. At least for my play style!

Lemme get this straight:

You get coast, fresh water, 2 sugars, 2 gems (the third will soon follow), a clam, and a corn in your fat cross?

Holy ****.

Yes. And let's not forget that there's no jungle to clear and the corn is irrigated.
I think this might be the best start I've ever got, that's why I wanted to share it!

 

[Mattimeo]

This is semi-demi-godly!

 

[Red Viking]

Not to mention the lighthouse food bonus u get from the fresh water too (given you build a lighthouse in the city)

 

[Mattimeo]

And possibly the Moai Statues and the Great Lighthouse.

now open this in worldbuilder and make it a diety save and people can have fun with it.

Do you mind if I do it?

For others that would like this start on another setting, just make it into a scenario, or ask me to make a save of it.

Friggin' awesome start!

Spoiler :

There is even one hidden modern era resource, but there is no nearby early strategic resources.

 

[Gliese 581]

Andvare: Good work, I'd like as many people as possible who want to try the game at a higher level than they're used to try this start.

How do you post spoiler text? I.e. with a button to reveal it, like the one in your post?
