At last those- thanks!

Horses for certain have far away hidden...

No problem. It's a safe bet that the horses are far away.

As first move perhaps the Worker north, then the Scout somewhere and then, probably, settle in place?

The predator obstacles really, really hurt. Really.

well, horses being a long way away isn't so bad for Mongol's, since you have until knights to get them...

3B yrs old and no hills in sight? Wierd...

Just step right back and you'll hear a tale, a tale of a fateful trip... I see a gilligans island set up here, less than normal opponents, a food weak start (or are there wheats in the fog NNE and ESE?), and free Alphabet in the Conquest bonus. A plain start seems suspicious.

I was hoping that the Mongol special units would have been used in this game...too bad, maybe next time.
