I'd settle for continents with standard number of random opponents, maybe balanced resources coz we'd have a really hard time without horses.
Up for an expansive game?

- Start date
I think we shouldn't spend a lot more time without a save on our hands!
Agreed! I don't think anybody has much against the variant (if so speak up now!), so it might be time for you to make an executive decision and get this rolling (boss).
Leader choice is still up in the air between Mao/Peter/Sury. I'm fine with either one of them, no preference really. You can go back and count.
The organizer's vote trumps all (to my mind). But failing that, flip a 3-sided coin.

ramdom.org gives Sury (1 -> Mao, 2 -> Peter, 3 -> Sury, drew 3).
Sury/continent/6 random opponents/regular barb/quick speed as final settings? (yes, yet another test)
I can generate a save tonight. everybody has the BUFFY mod right?

I'll take the lack of replies as a yes
Since I am a cool guy, we'll do it in normal speed... generating the save in a couple of hours
Hey kossin
good to see you still active 
yeah pretty much 2009... with some more years and kilogramms

I say in place looks OK. I am torned about that scout though: do we want to unreveal those two last tiles we can't see or do we want to reveal land west, or along the river?
Nice start.
Are those coastal tiles NE of the Settler? 3N1E / 3N2E .
There are surely better tiles to work in our capital than non-riverside Wine. So I'd move the Scout 2E1N or 2E, to look for better options.
If the coast is near, we'll need to take care not to wreck future city sites.

I cannot be sure, 3N2E looks like an oasis to me
yeah non-riverside wine kinda sucks but there is decent food and some early commerce at least. We'll have to weight the opportunity cost of moving (better time to first settler?) if we want to go that route.
edit: we should talk about play order also. I can't play before saturday myself.

I'd move scout 2E1N for a better look of the eastern greenland stuff. Maybe settle 1E of Settler.
Good luck guys! And don't forget that when all else fails, do not despair: you have Archers. Soon. Maybe.
-the evidence is clear

SIP and 1E should also be able to work Forest Plains Hills after three turns, for a quick first Worker. Yay synergy. 
There's a chance we'll pick up Desert tiles moving 1E, but Plains Wine tiles are very bad, so I'd still rate 1E > SIP, unless the Scout reveals a resource in the north.

Yea, that forested plains hill is great, we are off to a really good start here. We have power tiles right off the bat so the earlier we get the worker the better. We have mining for the hills already so we just need agriculture which will finish in time.
We can even mine the pigs temporarily and get BW early maybe?
River corn is enough food for the early (pre-granary, pre-hardcore-whipping) phase.
1E looks to have a maximum of 1 desert tile to me based on quick fog-gaze, and plains wine is equally useless anyway -- only good for the resource.

Oo's up? Oo's next?
Do we have a rooster?
Scout E>NE sounds a sensible starting move followed by a screenshot before moving settler (or not
).

I agree about 1E being the stronger and I would do agri first too, together with a worker right away. I can move that scout in a few but if anyone want to go meanwhile, be my guest
As for the roster, I can play tmr but Rusten said he might be available earlier. So based on that:
Rusten
myself
Folket
pigswill
Doshin (putting you last since u can't play right away iirc)
We can adjust function of everyone's schedule and wishes.
edit on techs: after agriculture, I'd go BW too since it's fast with mining already at home. It gets us good prod early and possible copper. Then prolly archery or TW. But that might be too far off.
Cheers,
Ras

Our scout reveals rice and a couple of gold. Shaka mustn't be far, that's not possible... 
1E looks even stronger, I wouldn't give up the riverside grass hill and pigs for the rice.
thoughts?
edit: 1N gives a lot of food though... and more riverside tiles... hum

What a nice start.
1E looks stronger to me. The Corn and Pigs will provide +9
for most of the game, which is strong enough to absorb a zero food tile. The capital will also spend a considerable amount of time building Workers and Settler early on, so the food loss isn't so severe and the commerce gain from the Gold will be huge.
City #2/3 can take the second Rice and Gold.
I'd be happy to go from Agriculture ---> Bronze Working, unless Scouting reveals new possibilities. Two cities quickly set up to work two food resources and two Golds =
