Unsettling Indonesia

[Azedenkae]

So I just came back to Civ V, and decide to buy the entire complete thingy (yay Steam).

Anyways, to make things interesting, and to try out new things, I've decided to randomize my nation, and have a go at challenging myself through a specific playstyle.

This is done by going random nation, and going for one of the 24 policy options initially available. (Four branches, six policies for each).

By combining that, I'll decide on the playstyle. Also, playing on Prince, and randomizing maps - with 6 players and 12 City States.

Anyways, my first nation is Indonesia, which is cool because I never had a chance to play Indonesia before.

Rolling a 24-sided dice, I got Collective Rule, which speeds the training of Settlers, and provide a free Settler.

That happens to combine well with Indonesia's er, power. :3

So, moving on. Year 4000BC, I spawned next to a body of water.

Not sure if a coincident, or it's on purpose. But hey. Works for me.

Now here's hoping that there's other continents. Or islands. Or else Indonesia's ability will be useless.

Starting Position

So a few years have gone by, and I have made some decisions.

I've beelined towards Optics, to get Embark asap. As I'll be generating enough Culture to get Collective Rule on the same turn, it'll turn out great!

At this time, I still have no idea where the next island is though so... got some exploring to do. :/

My Warrior has also gained enough experience to be renamed - he is now called 'The First'. The First, the Mightiest, the Eldest, the Wisest! > Or something of the sorts. :3

My first city is also expanding well. Another civ has established a pantheon. :/ I'm about to complete a Shrine, so hopefully should be able to set up one soon. Meeting a City State has provided me with 4 er, Faith? Yeah. Sorry new to this whole Faith thing.

So yeah. Not much going on yet, Indonesia is still not a series of islands yet, but hey, soon, hopefully.

Also still figuring out how to do these screenshots thing on dropbox. #_#

Imgur's a better bet to upload screenshots to; that's what I and a number of the other Stories + Tales people use. But otherwise, glad to see someone else around this forum!
