Ok, alex, a big and detailed map for you, in a moment





could you also tell me what format I should save the pic under? jpeg and Gif are both too grainy for my taste.

Basically, I have been fighting against the dutch and the Incans, at the same time, and most of my army has been destroyed, but I just managed to connect iron.


I was quite amazed at the Dutch city placement, which is a very good border patrol, but if there were camps on the hills with the red marks, then the Ai could back fill and get a decent empire running.


maybe for CIV...

Yes, the Dutch did a good job forming a border, but it's by accident.

On the other hand, they would have been much stronger if they had built cities closer to home, to be more productive.

By the way, here's my AAR:

A Portugese scout cought me building my first Settler, so I could not switch to a military unit without losing shields. By the time I built a Warrior, most of my tiles were pillaged.

A few turns after that, Russ' Hoplite/Archer pairs showed up and started pillaging as well. Managed to hook up iron by building a colony, and paid the AI gpt for a loan to upgrade 3 Warriors to Swordsmen. All 3 Swordsmen died attacking a single Hoplite.

Since then, bankrupt and without Iron, I have been waiting to be eliminated. Thanks for finally showing up to do so!

Good game. It had some intense moments for me, and I even thought I could survive for a while, but it doesn't always work as well when you don't have the Celts.
