I wanted to have some fun today, and went on starting an Immortal Marathon game on a huge map.
Now, I have not played marathon since I learned how to play the game, so I'd need some advice here.
I rolled pretty funny starting location - combination of lot of salt and lot of tundra
To make things as interesting as possible, we have Zulu next door.
I just finished my settler, and was going to go to settle the coast, but it seems too poor choise.
On the other hand, we have absolutely amazing stuff south of us:
I am pretty sure if I settle this (its far from Moscow to make things worse), I can get into trouble.
Best place seems to be the hill between Wheat and Sheep, and its 9 tiles away.
A city on the hill north of the stones near the Cotton seems cute too.
The desert coast seems ok too, it lacks lux.
On the western side we can squeeze a mountain city next to the wales too I guess (but it seems rather poor location). I don't mind forest, but thats only forest around there ...
Shacka covets my lands of course, and is hostile (because of a Zulu peasant that was taken by force to work the salt mines in Siberia ). Now if that was standart speed I am pretty sure I can handle this, but now that marathon makes me a bit lost tbh.
For some reason the AI is incredibly poor (I hooked up 2 salts and can't sell any of em). Noone has more than 1 gpt, except Maria and she has salt.
Any suggestions and marathon advices?
