COTM 82: France!

[img=right]http://gotm.civfanatics.net/games/images/cotm82civ.jpg[/img]


I'm off to the Northwest this week, but I managed to load up the saves for this COTM before I lost access to my game setups; just untangled some naming conventions for the image files, and I think we're good to go!

It's Joan of Arc this month, leading France! Kept the difficulty at Monarch, and to simplify things, just set up a fairly standard Continents game ... or is it? Good Luck!

I'm game for another predator 20k challenge.

Obviously the initial challenge here is, that there's nothing of value to build and no Pyramids to use as pre-build.

One could move to the coast and go for The Colossus as first build, or move inland and use a second town on the coast as cultural centre. Using F10 one could judge how probable it would be to trade early for Bronze Working.

I don't think I will have a reasonable amount of time to play this one.

Time constraints tricky for me too: I'll try another 20k run if I can, but I'm prioritising the deity game. A couple of days ago it looked like it might be a real quick game but I'm still playing so...

 

[PaperBeetle]

Well, deity done. I'm gonna have a crack at the French 20k.
