I accidentally only played 9 turns due to a numbering mixup. No worries though.
I'm not sure if we'll just stick with this start or not. Comments in next post.
Turn 1 (166)
Okay, here is our lovely starting position:
We started on the 1W cow. Founded Paris 1E for gold and cows and Iron.
Switched to Monarchy, Slavery, Vassalage and HR .
Moved a warrior and made contact with Vikings, gave them Monotheism for relations.
Started research on Paper, as maps are nice and it's a good little trading chip.
Turn 2 (167)
Found Marseilles for more cows and coastal access!
Turn 3 (168)
Meet Rome and give HBR for relations. Rome has 5 cities now, must have got a semi decent start.
Found Lyon on a hunch... Birka's borders went to 0 on the IT when cities flip IIRC and I#m right and we take the corn. Now need to rush culture in the city.
Turn 4 (169)
Meet Carthage, who is at war with Rome. Send him away. /forgot screns for Hannibal and AC. Oh well, you'll live.
Also found our last free city, Orleans. Settlers gone.
Turn 5 (170)
On the IT, ONE of our axes sitting on a flatland tile takes out 3 attacking barb axes and a sword
I then kill another sword.
Turn 6 (171)
Superaxe is killed by a camel archer
Turn 8 (173)
Join the war against Unstable Carthage at Roman request.
Turn 10 (175)
End.
