Ever get a feeling of impending doom...?
Standard All-Random map (Continents, 4byo, I think) at DG. I rolled the Americans.
No freshwater nearby, Horses a long way from Washington, and Iron right outside Rome. With 5 Civs on my Continent (Romans, Carthaginians, Indians, Chinese; the Japanese are on the landmass to the north), I predictably missed the Rep-slingshot, and also my prebuild of SoZ (which became a
very expensive Granary instead).
Julius has just finished beating up on Ghandi, to his/our north. Having captured a couple of Pop1 Jungle-/Hill-towns before signing peace, he may also still be enjoying his UU-inspired GA. That incoming mini-stack includes 5 Legionaries and 3 Archers. So far.
Across my entire 6-town, Pop15 "empire" (soon to be 7 towns, Pop16) I have an assortment of vHorsemen (5), r+vArchers (6), r+vSpears (4), rWarriors (6), and a couple of Cats -- most of which are stashed in Chicago (NW of Boston, founded for the freshwater as much as anything) and Philly -- both of which (as you can see) Julius has studiously ignored.
I think I might be losing/ rage-quitting this game very soon...
