So how's everyone coming along so far? I'm still ridiculously frustrated at myself for not exploring a little bit more for my coastal river mountainside start, instead settling for a riverless coastal mountainside start just four(!!!) tiles away. Very upsetting.
Still, according to the demographics I am the richest player in the game. I've also found a cultural city-state and eliminated my first barbarian camp, which has earned my warriors a promotion. At the rate I'm going, I should be able to bribe my way into some nice extra culture to pop some early policies.
Unfortunately, do to a mistake in game creation, we are running a standard speed game on a huge map, so contact with other players is unlikely for a long while, which kinda sucks because I could really use a loan from one of you guys.
Also, we have many slots available for those who'd like to hop in and play a part in a ridiculous three-year game.
