Ok, I was playing Civilization V with a friend today. We just started the game. I managed to claim 3 ruins using a warrior and a scout, receiving the benefit of a map, 70 gold, and the mining tech. My friend, who started next to me on the same continent, apparently found 5, including a population growth one, a faith one which bagged him the first pantheon, at least one culture hut which propelled him to landed elite very early on. These gave him a huge starting advantage.
When I asked him what he did, he just told me he "scouted aggressively" using a single scout and his starting warrior, apparently after watching some lets plays. My question is this: is there any way to reliable reproduce his success with scouting ruins, so I can gain the same early game advantage that he has obtained.
Thanks.
