@drakdan, please lurk. If a spot opens up you're first in. I think if we get 6 active palyers then 7 will be too much.

Again, I will roll some more starts tonight because I already know I have the time and nothing else pressing this evening.

 

[jb1964]

Here's a fistful of golden saves...

I'm fond of just about every one of these.
All have rivers within a single move.
Slide 1 is solid
Slide 2 has a deer and 5! BG's
Slide 3 is about the worst w/ a jungle tile, 2 bg's, deer and wine
Slide 4 has a deer and two bg's
Slide 5 has a cow, BG and a grass/wheat
Slides 6 and 8 have two cows.
Slide 7 has a deer, two bg's and plenty of forest for early chops

Slide 1

Those are some amazing starts.

My pick is 6. The rest show signs of jungle or tundra in the fog

Ya, set up the settter on the hill over the river, start working the cow in place.

[Mirc]

So we started with save 6?

 

[Vaiar]

That's a very nice starting location. Two Cows!!

On the hill? That means near the sea. Is it a problem to settle on the cow or BG? Please explain.

If we settler on the cow, we lose the bonus food and sheild (i think) and if we settle on the BG we lose the sheild (i think)

Settling on top of any bonus essentially erases it's benefit completely.

If you settle on a desert tile or on a BG you get the same production from that core tile. Always aim to settle poorer tiles and not settle bonus tiles. We violated that in our current SGoTM (settled on a BG) out of necessity for city spacing.

 

[jb1964]

More input and discussion for starts can be posted for the remainder of the day (EST, I'm in Ohio) because I did not upload the saves.

Currently, if we have no more input I'm uplading Save 6 when I get home for Azzaman333 to run with.

I would also suggest, per SW suggestion, that we all play the first 20 turns for the learning experience.

More later.

 

[Mirc]

I heard about never settle on bonus tiles too, but I didn't know it apllies to BG too.

Edit: WTH, crosspost with jb but 4 minutes distance between posts!

lurker's comment: If you settle on BG you will get extra shield only when city will grow to size 7.

[Mr David]

I'm still sticking with six.

So should we all play the first 20 when you upload it?

 

[jb1964]

For educational puporses, as SW suggested, anyone who would like to play the fist 20 and then post a write-up of decisions, outcomes, etc. is welcome. I plan on doing my 20 in the next few days.

But you do pickup the commerce bonus when settling on a gold hill.

Enjoy!
