OP Start much?

[readercolin]

Quick game of wild mana with my GF, and I got the most OP start I have EVER seen. So... animal husbandry or mining first?

Wow. I think I would have settled on the plains hill to the south of your city, giving up one of the golds and two river grasslands in exchange for fresh water, better defense, and more production.

Husbandry first so you can build the workers faster and get the Mines into play faster

Yup, I went husbandry first. One important thing to note is that everything EXCEPT the city is on a river, so all I have to do to connect everything is build a single road. This start makes me wish I had it in singleplayer when I was actually playing to dominate, not playing a throwaway game with my girlfriend (aka, we play while working on homework). Needless to say, I'm going to be trying to keep her interested in it.

After playing for a little while, I found there is a nice patch of flood plains to the south, with some plains hills for production, another gold, and two more bison. And I will admit, that city placement - totally greed there...
