Good to see this game moving already. I absolutely love Willem due to his traits and and his unique building. He's a master of the seas so it's a little unfortunate that we're playing on great lakes, but oh well, he's still awesome.

As for the game, I think we should farm that floodplains tile to get us some extra growth. This capital seems kind of weak due to its lack of food ressources, but with a lot of really good land ressources sorrounding it, which is interesting.

Again, I'm going to start off with a warning that I'm pretty noobish. Don't expect too much

Starting off, wasn't doing much except exploring and waiting for the settler to pop. Found a few more people though. First of all it was Sullyman:

And soon after Asoka:

And Tokugawa, everyone's favourite, yay:

I was unsure of what to go for after the wheel. We have copper, so iron working wasn't too vital. Plenty of culture, so no need for religion. (Though I do like organised religion, one of my favourite civics) No horses for horse archers either. In the end I settled with pottery. We didn't need the money so much because of the gold and wine, but the granaries would be handy to regrow after whipping.

Settler pops, wasn't too sure where to put him, but I thought I'd snag the floodplains as soon as I could. I put him there rather than 1S, I thought the benefit of a wheat was outweighed by the extra floodplain + no overlap. Also pottery finished and I started on writing, mainly cos I couldn't see anything else that would be better.

More peoples! Napoleon this time.

And that's where I finished. Masonry and the Axeman in our capital are just place-holders, whoever is next should change them to whatever they want.

Our domain:

And some of the region around us:

Is anyone north of us? Considering how crowded it will soon be, would it be a good idea to rush a city up North for the horse/banana/dye?

Yeah, seeing as how the map's pretty crowded, I say we go for an axe rush! Chop chop chop!

Although...that's pretty much my solution to everything early game.

Heh, forgot to upload the save, and when I went back to look for it I couldn't find it. Thankfully there was an autosave.

Yes, Mansa Musa is just to the north of us. The spot where those vertical 2 dyes tiles are is pretty much the border of his culture. We also have Goat-man to the bottom right in the tundra (the world wrap is on toroidal)

Also just a quick note, I know im being anal retentive about this, but please confirm at the end of your turn that you have PM'ed the next player (just by adding [Player name] has been PM'ed). I think that people not realising it was their turn was the biggest downfall of the last game and this will ensure that we dont get a repeat of those huge breaks in action.

Oh man, this is great. Makes me want to go play Civ4 again (although I was pretty bad - a Warlord player at best XD ). I'd never heard of the concept of a succession game before, it's a really cool idea!

This thread has so much more spectators than players.
Thus, play! The spectators are awaiting!

Oh I miss Civ so much but I can't play right now
