Hi, tried my hand at emperor for the first time. This isn't a shadow game or anything, I was fully expecting this game to not go anywhere, which it didn't. I just had a really awkward start and was wondering what the experts would do.
I didn't make a save at the start of the game, had to recreate it from memory in wb :/
Start:
For reference, Justinian starts with Wheel + Mysticism
Surrounding area without fog:
Red x is where my cities were
What I tried doing:
I see cows and think it's a great IMP tile. I SIP since I don't see anything that would warrant moving. There's not any more food in BFC and theres 1 FP. I decide to slow build a settler then worker, and go Agriculture->AH.
Then I go mining->BW since there's so many forests but by that point I was so far behind in tech and I had almost no commerce so going pottery after that hardly helped.
I all-in axe rush charlie with 6 cities and almost take him out, but by that point I'm -20
at 0% and Genghis DOWS on me so the game's over.
I sadly don't have a turn 0 save
Attaching a ~t100 save so you can sorta see how the game played out, don't know how useful it will be
