First city locations

[Dauphin]

So, starting an MP LAN game. Huge map, 18 civs.



It's 4,000 BC and already I have met an opponent. More than that, my settler started so close to the opponent that it has to be moved to build a city.




So I move my warrior north to scout land. Bloody ****ing marvellous:

I am presuming the presence of the mountain made the algorithms mess up and not realise how close the two settlers were to begin with, on a HUGE map.

My condolences. Good luck on your OCC. Definitely a challenge.

Might I suggest beelining to sailing?

lol Dauphin pwnd LOL

Keep us updated on how the game turns out.

Héhé, in my last huge game I had not one but two civs starting within a handful of tiles.

I'd go for a restart on this one though.

[Virdrago]

I've had another civ stuck on the end of a one-square-wide penninsula, where the settler couldn't move until my borders expanded... we started two spots away, on a Huge map. I've never been that boxed in by mountains to start. Yet. I have been close, with room for only three cities on the end of a Pangea continent...

At least you got 46 gold!

Here's a nice SP start I got the other day.

Did you play on then?

Look on the bright side, it's like you built the great wall for free!

[Qwertqwert]

Still doable, get sailing quickly.

Dauplin, I highly sugest you ask for a restart on a new randomly generated map.

Joncha, your map looks playable to me, I think in fact you won't need a military unit in your capital until the city grows large enough for "We demand miltary protection!" to cause happiness problems.
