No settlers strategy

[VoiceOfUnreason]

I spent some time working on a no settler variant. It turns out that if you delete your starting settler unit on turn 0, the game is really hard. Or, if you prefer, really short.

I'm reminded again of the no-cities trick from Civ2.

What was that trick? Not sure if I knew that one

No barbs came from huts, until you put down your first city. So, waiting to build it actually made sense, especially since you could get free Settlers...
