Prince
Ok, time for my first deity challenge on the epic game. I have chosen: archipelago 80% water
wet, warm, 5 billion years old
standard size map
random opponents
all victory conditions enabled
and deity of course (eeek!)
My start position is attached. Too hard to let that one slip by.
Just a wee caution, I will participate in the COTM02, so that will slow this one down a bit.
I move the settler due south onto the jungle. exposing more jungle and a forest within the city borders. Worker starts irrigating the cow on the start.
3950BC: Trondheim founded, and starts building a warrior. We need to explore our island. Set research to writing at 50 turns. (It takes 50 turns even at max!) Growth in 7.
3800BC: First cow irrigated, start on road.
3700BC: Warrior built, another started. We head for the hills to the NE, avoiding the goody hut.
3650BC: Worker goes to the bonus grass to mine.
3550BC: Second warrior built, now working on a curragh. We look like we are on a very small island. OTOH, I have just sighted some yellow borders too close for my comfort!
3500BC: Since our expansion will pop the goody hut, we return the souther explorer to Trondheim, and wait on the mountain with our northern explorer.
3450BC: And of course the GH isn't good at all. as all we get are angry barns x 3. I have to disturb my worker, and play run away. We execute a barb on the hill, and the worker joins our warrior there. The other guy fortifies in Trondheim, and we cross our fingers. Also the expansion reveals dyes to the SE.
3400BC: The barbs destroy my improvements.
3350BC: End of barbs.
