First game played :)

Snoopy's first game

Noble level, playing Mao Tse Tung - China (Philosophical/Organized).

Basics ... started in a decent spot, near the japanese, on a 3-player continent, russia on the other end. Japan is in a sort of annoying spot ... more on that later

Have all the major resources though, and a nice midcontinental river ...

Here's a pic of a barbarian city that's in an annoying spot I'm not sure i can beat this ... and yes, this is the only available iron

[Ennet]

nice pic of the barb city to capturing it

EDIT: ooo this is the review forum, replies may be bad? =/

Okay ... Snoopy's SECOND game. First game ended when I decided it wasn't worth losing a horribly onesided war to the russians ...

Starting position is pretty good ... mmm, ivory. Statue of Zeus anyone?

Romans

I went Polytheism first, good thing since someone discovered meditation before I would have ...

[Fidel]

yeah, go snoopy go!
man, i wish i was playing the game now
by the way, what are your system specs? had no issues with the game?
btw, who kicked your ass? cathy or peter?

Decent land.

Ivory

Use the resource button, especially at the beginning of the game.

/me looks forward to play this game ~a week from now...

[snoopy369]

Woot! Hinduism!

Yes, resource button will be used Cleaner screenshot when not on though ...

Now I work on Hunting -> Animal Husbandry to use those cows... then Monotheism maybe...

[snoopy369]

Experience is good ... got 5 exp from a hut, after losing my last warrior this helps a lot 5/5 xp now, so i went the 2-woodsman route... 2 mps in forest

Also see some decent possibilities north of me ... rome has west pretty blocked off...

[snoopy369]

Hmm, here we have some pretty good resources

Need some more time to build settlers though ... working on obelisk first in Mecca until I grow to size 4, then worker, then settler.

[alva]

Why the obelisk?

[Solver]

Also, don't underrate Ivory. It lets you create War Elephants which are ancient Tanks. Be sure to have Barracks by the time you build Elephants for a free promotion, and those babies may be able to run over a city all by themselves.

[snoopy369]

Barracks ...

Obelisk was something to do while it grew up to a decent size. I'm trying the strategy of build-up-city-before-worker #1 (to have enough shields/food to produce worker #1 quickly)...

Here's a pic of me finally remembering to research farming ... this researching-worker-tasks thing is hard to remember
