Especially the kind of newbie you are

Your starting log made me think this was a Seed 23 map, but looking at the picture I realize this is Seed 55. The three Fish to the SouthWest threw me off.

Is the water to the east a large lake?

If you took a risk on the hut next to the Settler and got an Archer, you have enough time to Fortify in the Forest, and with the Horse coming up from behind...
(perhaps SG(2) will smile on you...)

But if the settler is lost then SG(2) will be smiling because you'll have a real challenge on your hands.

Welcome Zenon -- but after seeing your performance in the OCC challenge... I think that somehow you have transcended the humble status of newbie.

He hasn't yet experienced the baptism of fire—the robust constructive criticism of his succession teammates!

Is this game on hold - waiting for me - or on hold because we have so many more going at the moment?

Assuming the former ...

3000 = hut, Archer, supported; rush buy Temple;
2950 = Archer kills Barbs, Settler starts long haul home; Temple
2850 = Chariot tips hut, Archer (None), sights irrigation; Americans - ignored
2500 = Alphabet->Code of Laws;
2550 = Warrior sacrifices self to Barb horse so that archer can kill; distant hut reveals supported Archer;
2400 = sell Barracks;
2350 = hut, Bronze Working; start Colossus; Archer 'near to Kyoto'
2100 = destroy American 'civilisation' - because I could RAR ; Barb uprising
2050 = make save and pass the conch ...

* a totally uninspired if rather Rodentian set of turns
* thinks of the long, long corridors at The Institute and shudders

Far from Monarchy, far from Colossus, barb uprising: all is well

1900BC: Barb archer dies, Barb king escapes.
1800BC: Hut = Horsemen
1600BC: Hut = 25g
1550BC: Code of Laws disc. = Currency res.; hut = Currency ; MONARCHY researched (... at long last)
1350BC: Hut = archer
1250BC: Hut = 100g
1150BC: Hut = Trade

1000BC: LF resigns, still far away from Monarchy, but we are now size 4 and 8 turns from Colossus

[La Fayette]

STYOM NEXT

I forgot to mention that we are about to meet new friends

I'm also up in the Mongol Horde game, which is proceeding s-l-o-w-l-y....

Also, I seem to be getting an error message of some sort when I try to d/l the save, so I may be a little while resolving that. Feel free to skip me to keep the game going

[Straybow]

Nope, not your problem. Apolyton is still messed up and the attachments aren't working right.

[Straybow]

Use the upload space to post saves. It still works properly.

[Six Thousand Year Old Man]

Dowloading, OTOH, I can't do.
