Well, I think this is probably the civ for me. Quite pleased with them throughout this game. For the first batch I was God King with a single Capitol (and in hindsight, I wish I went for a more Production based Cross than a Commerce based one, but live and learn), 90% Science gradually raised my gold which was handy. I founded RoK early and spread it to Cardith Lorda, who is now in my back pocket diplomatic. Coincidentally, myself and Cassiel shared the same enemy so me and him are also buddy-buddy.
I took my first city off of the Dark Elves, Trebs are quite nice and those cheap upgrades are really helpful. I also took my second and third from them as well. Currently, those are my only four cities. I'm still at God King and making a lot of Gold even at 100% science. It's fairly late on in the game and I can't help but feel that I should've expanded more early on.
As it stands, it's Year 360, I'm in third place in the scores (and the two ahead of me are my allies). I'm 2nd in Techs behind Cassiel. I have four large and rather productive cities and a reasonable sized army. I've got 7040 Gold and earning 84 gold a turn at 100% science. As it stands, my only shot at victory, at least IMO, is to go for the Altar, which I'm currently working on. I'm tempted to raid my Dark Elf neighbours or Peppy the Clown King for some additional cities (and fun) but I'd prefer to be a bit more reserved. My empire is fairly spread and my army is too slow to catch up with pillaging invaders, and I don't want to risk crippling my economy.
Problems I have at the moment are mainly health. All of my cities are unhealthy, altohugh this may be caused by the widespread floodplains. The lost health from Forges and so-forth aren't helpful though when it comes to health.
In hindsight, I also wish my capital was better placed for Production than Commerce. At least early on I did. Would I be right in assuming that would be the preferred route? Early expansion for me required war, so I wish I could've pumped my army out a bit faster, heh.
But yeah, I definitely like these guys. I fancy trying out the Boar riders to; it's a shame I didn't get to give them a go (no nearby pigs). Are they worth the effort? They seem like they could be interesting.
