Started an immortal game the other day, and got Monty. Did not choose AI's.
Standard size, pangaea. no events, no huts. Lock modified assets on, and using Buffy / HOF mod.
Close jungle to the north, and sea, with an island to the south. Starting techs were awkward. Had wet corn, gold, Plains Cow, and clams. But Monty starts with Myst and Hunting, so keeping workers busy was a challenge. I think I went Agri, Mining, Fishing, AH. Not sure it was that great. Capital wasn't too bad but nearby scouting was pretty rough. Lots of jungle, and not much food.
Here's the save if anyone wants to try it out. I thought it was a fun challenge.
* Had stone, in a city with a bunch of hills... so I built the pyramids.
* Captured 4 barbarian cities with horse archers. The central jungle is no joke.
* Still didn't meet one of the AI's yet at T-100.
* Religions are pretty fractured.
* Built an island city which was probably a complete waste of time.
* Barb galleys were rough.
* Hannibal is in last place. Justin and Mansa are doing well. Frederick is in there. And my neighbor is William Von Orange.
Definitely a winnable game, even with my mediocre playing.... grabbed a lot of decent land from the barbs, and WvO is in the corner with me, and nobody likes him. But Justin is plotting and the barb cities may have made me a land-target.
