    Yeah, sure, whatever...

    Its about 15 turns later. Look at all those cows and deers. Almost like Marla Singers Earth scenario, but on a random map.

          Lots of cattle though. That looks nice! But I have had better terrain than this already....

            You have a point, but with all those deers, the ice is quite useful once you can plant forest on top. And with both rivers and the seashore, there will be plenty of food and money in the ice cities.

              Cows are better than hills IMO.

                I would rather have grassland + hills than plain and cows. And grassland is better than ice + a few deer.

                But if you like cows...

                    Sorry, on a scale 1 to 10, I give this starting position a 5. I have always played with the random map and I have seen many better starting position than this.

                    PS: I like grassland and floodplain best. I don't like hill, mountain and ice.

                      Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind- bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space.

                        Cattles are great, especially for early cities, because mining them you'll have food, as well as production.

                        However, having 2 or 3 floodplains and some hills would make this place ever better.

                        The greatest disadvantage of this picture is the total lack of luxuries. Where are the luxuries?

                          Me too! I always mine all the wheat and cattle.

                            Oh, sorry, now I see it.
                            Anyway, the position is good, but maybe not quite a "to die for". More like a "I'll play a couple of turns to see how it's going on"

                              The greatest delight for man is to inflict defeat on his enemies, to drive them before him, to see those dear to them with their faces bathed in tears, to bestride their horses, to crush in his arms their daughters and wives.
