Well I started a game, randomed Wang Kong on a Pangea standard map/speed.
Difficulty is immortal.
For those who would like to shadow it, here is the starting scene with warrior moved:

I decided to prioritize cottages: Agri > the wheel > pottery then Bronze working > hunting > archery > animal husbandry > writing
Not much trouble with barbs with enough warriors and archers around my cities.
Jao is my neighbour to the north-east. My next city is going at the pig site. Anyone would advise settling on the stone instead of where I marked the city ?
Animal husbandry revealed horses under my second city spot (Pyongyang). As writing is finishing next turn, I foresee a possible HA rush on Isabella
I'd like some advice here on what I need to prioritize for this war.
Below is my plan. Please critisize
1. More cities
I think 2 more cities is what I can afford:
Pig/stone (block Joao)
Deer (production base for HA with many forests)
2. City plan
Seoul: whip a settler, finish a granary, build a library, then get ready with barracks + stables
Pyongyang: chop a couple of work boats, build a worker, whip a settler. Then build HA
Pigcity: chop a settler, whip a granary and maybe barracks
Deercity: HA only through chops (a monument first maybe)
According to this plan, I'll mostly get unpromoted HA. Is this ok?
3. War plan
Reckon through Liz land (maybe build a scout somewhere)
Get ready with 10-12 HA before declaring
Take the sheep city first then Madrid (close to the east I guess)
Maybe take one more city (she might settle the fish site) and try to have alphabet ready in time to sign peace for techs. (I don't know if this is realistic )
10 turns later, wipe Liz out of the map.
Another question: Can you see the juicy site with gold and copper in the north? I'd love to settle a city there asap and block anyone coming from the north. Is it a bad idea? why?
