Have a nice vacation, civ_steve!

Moving the settler is not very tempting here. To the north it's all plains and to the south you move away from the water.

yes, have a nice vacation!

but hey, what does a galley @ 40s as a predator obstacle mean? hopefully we´re not again on an island while all the others share their pangaea continent...

Maybe we're being set up for a peaceful game, and we are isolated on the big land mass while the rest of the tribes are on little islands.

The conquest class bonuses suggest we have neighbors, though, and the start location looks far from the ocean.

The conquest class bonuses suggest we have neighbors, though, ...

How is that?

 

[CKS]

Why else give them two archers? Barbs won't show up for a while, and two archers seems like overkill for barbs, anyway.

 

[Megalou]

It could be so, but the 40 gold galleys point in the other direction. Then again, the lack of salt water in the starting screen points towards yours.

I think i don´t play this Game.

Barbarians: Restless

Galleys cost 40 shields

that looks out for one,
where I would have no fun
