NOTE: I changed the map type to Pangaea for reasons mentioned by ungy.
NOTE 2: I just got BtS
Alright, here goes:
4000 BC (Turn 1): Settle in place, start training Warrior and start researching Mining to go for BW (Agriculture is a Zulu starting tech)
3820 BC (Turn 6): Our Scout pops a hut and the Zulu learn how to fish.
3730 BC (Turn 9): The Scout comes across German and Malinese troops to the west of our capital on the same turn and we are at war. Bismarck is quite close, only 9 tiles away from our cultural borders atm.
3610 BC (Turn 13): We meet Roosevelt's advance troops to the SE and we are at war.
3130 BC (Turn 29): BW comes in, and we have Copper to our north in an ideal location: very close by, out of reach of any other civs (I haven't scouted out the extreme north yet but I don't think there's enough room left there for another civ) and a nice location for a second city. We'll be building Impi's and Axemen by the dozen before 2000 BC
3010 BC: (Turn 33): We meet some English warriors to the SW and we are at war with Elizabeth.
2980 BC (Turn 34): We meet some Chinese troops to the SW of the English warriors and we are at war with Mao.
2800 BC: (Turn 40): My reign ends. An overview:
(sorry for the overlap from a previous screen)
I would suggest settling on the hill 1 SE of the Copper. The Copper will be available straight away and after expanding there will be no less than 3 Wines in the city's cultural borders, for lots of cash.
I researched Mining --> BW --> Archery --> The Wheel. I don't know if Archery was necessary with Copper so close by, but I selected it on autopilot and only woke up after there were 4 turns left so I finished it anyway. I also slightly screwed up micromanagement of Ulundi (we only have one city and I'm already failing at mm'ing
![lol :lol: :lol:](/data/assets/smilies/lol.gif)
) and didn't go back to prioritizing growth of the city after completing the Warriors and the Workers. I suggest waiting 5 more turns until it grows, then start on a Settler to get the Copper.
