[BtS, screenie] Do I have to pig on all these resources?

[onodera]

Just started a new game on a rainforest map and got this:

UPD:
Restarted and got pig and 7 dye.

Wow! Nice starting local!

But to answer your question: Hell yes! Pig away.

Good Lord! I wish I could get a starting location that was half as good as that one. It seems ever since I started playing BtS I end up with mostly crap. Though you might have a bit of a problem actually building anything, there's not much in the way of Hammers there. It will make a great GP farm though.

YAHTZEE!

You know, I realized it's a Rainforest map type feature.

Quarrying the stone and putting some workshops up should fix that, at least enough to get what a GP farm needs.

Also some watermills

Did BTS change the map generation for starting cities or something? I got what was probably my best starting position ever in my first BtS game (well, considering I was the Dutch, at least...)

i agree something seems amiss. i started a game with the dutch as well and had 4 gems in my starting fat cross and four others one square away from it. obviously won that one.

I've got two gold in the fat cross of my capital in my current game. Plus my next planned settling site (city 5) has a 3 gems.

Double post. See me quoting myself one post down.

Not all Bts starts are that fantastic. However, I am discovering that what appeared as a poor/mediocre early start got much better, containing coal, oil and aluminum in the capitol fat cross after starting with almost all forest plus one stone and one wheat.
