Hi guys. :) First off all,I must say I was really a Civ-4 freak,and I just started to play Civ-5 two days ago. I'm not really a Civ-5 expert,and I still need to adopt to this game. I tested few maps,just too see how they look like. First I started to play with Romans,couse I've read forums and stuff,and they are kinda balances and good for starters. And then my friend showed me some video,some guy is playing Shoshone and he has 6 cities,4 build himself,2 got from battle. And he said: "You should try Shoshone,in my opinion: they are best Civilization in this game". So I decided to give them a shoot. Since I wasn't lucky with places/fields with Romans,I decided to do something different in this game. I always play "continents" map,with standard start and normal sea level. This time I put sea level on low,and I choose standard start again. I got really good map and I like it a lot. :)

I was really lucky with first city. And first I put to build their Pathfinder. I had luck with ruins and I discovered them 3,and I choose population bonus (which allowed me to build settler in first city just after Pathfinder unit). For the policy I adopted "liberty" policy,which gave me free settler just 30 turns after 1st settler was finished.

Anyway,since screenshoots are pain in the ass,I will give you save game file,I could use some tips for next moves. Tnx. :)
