Ok, I guess I didn't quit get what you meant by "resets the ZOC". At any rate, looking at the screen shot, your warrior to the east of the Danish warrior should have prevented the Danish warrior from reaching Mecca if the worker hadn't been in its path(?)

Yeah, ZOC would typically only allow the Danish warrior to move one tile.

I am sorry to hear that. However, I admit that this is a tick harder than most Deity games we have presented in the last 14 months. I even made three test runs and on all occasions I managed to get the AIs to send trade routes to me very early on.

@Nizef any strategies for getting the AI to send you traders?

The fastest (unless you see a foreign Scout next to your capital) way is to sell your embassy to the AI. If you manage to do that before they send their first TR somewhere else (usually to a nearby CS) you can sometimes receive a TR already around t15. In my opinion that is powerful for the early game development.

Others have advocated immediate declaration of war on the Huns in this particular game. Perhaps a small delay can net the human player a plundered caravan.

And it seems to work very well. I settled one expand before taking up arms. I feel it is so frustrating to build units from only one city.

I am playing this game to see what it's about.. haven't played Arabia in a while.

Start looked unimpressive but I settled in place and started out with full Liberty in mind but switched to Honor after I saw the Huns close.
I decided to not let them get strong and instead I eliminated them turn 66, conquering their cities, but now I have some unhappiness. Everything will be fine though after I connect the Cotton and get my Ivory back from Ethiopia.
Now that I don't need my General that I have I think I will citadel Hanoi for the Silver. That's enough to cover the unhappiness for the moment.
Got Religion with Tithe, Desert Folklore and Pagodas.

Need to think of a target now. Probably Denmark since they are also close and they built Collossus and Zeus wonders, which I want.
turn 66
