I think start 2 was a good choice. I played 20 turns. We have barracks, 2 workers, 1 reg warrior and 1 vet archer. On the last turn Spain appeared and we have our first war. So now we can explore the surroundings. Maybe the next player can switch to an archer, but Spain does not have WC, so all she can send are warriors. Looks quite ok. Here is a picture :

Yep, I didn't see Own's save, so I still thought he was up. I Will play tomorrow, but with 60 shields/2 settlers gone for good I don't think this will be lasting long.

In 2030 we meet an american warrior coming from the north, so AMERICA will be second on the list. They are ahead four techs.
In 1950 I found Cumae on the ruins of an older roman settlement.
In 1910 I spot spanish borders west by northwest.
In 1790 I found Neapolis south Roem, able to work the wheat on the flood plain and a BG, later more.
In 1750 We learn of the secrets of bronze working, starting to research iron working at 90%.
In 1725 all looks pretty good. We had a slow start due to losing two settlers, but our immediate surroundings hold the greatest of land. With capturing the spanish cities we will quickly recover from our lack of research and size.

Looking for possible riots is basics, especially that early in the game. You are not playing alone.
