Just started an Emperor level game on Pangea as Suleman(Phi/Imp), and I rolled this awesome start. I played to ~500BC, and was doing so well that I forgot I was playing on Emperor.

. Btw, there are more floodplains in the BFC that can't be seen. Running an SE would be ridiculously powerful on this map.

Spoiler :
The surrounding land is also just as awesome. To the north, there are two sources of gems and some more flood plains. Also, there are some more floodplains to the south and west.
