Greetings all, was going to start a new game. (BTS 3.13)

Large Map (Islands) (1 per civ with many smaller)

Max civs (18) all random...

Ended up with the Vikings (lucky considering the map) with Hatshepsut as leader... And also came up with this as a start position:

I'm not going to play this one just yet, but I know some of you guys enjoy a challenge. So, if anyone wants a crack at it, I'm attaching the settings and save below.

If you do play it, post your results.

(I'm posting this in Screenshots instead of the Multi or GOTM because I thought it's an interesting start whether anyone decides to play or not)

Well, I'm soon off to Qubec (drinking age is 18) next weekend during my 2 week Spring Break for my grad trip, so when I get back I'll see about giving this one a shot!

That is kind of wierd.. That mountain blocks you access... However.. that location would be a commerce city from heaven that is virtually unattackable. Especially with wonders like Great Lighthouse, Moui Stones, and Colossus. However, with 18 civs and being stuck there till you straight tech to Galley... that may be a killing blow. Or at least a major setback to early game. 18 civs... good god.. I always run into a bunch of diplomatic trouble with all those civs.. everyone and thier brother wants me to get involved in thier petty little war with civs I have no idea where they are at halfway around the world and get pissed when I say no. Enough of that.. then mid to late game.. everybody wants to kill me..

just finished this one Smile

know i was fast but i bored an couldnt sleep!

lost a space race on the very turn i launched my own.
those race leaders con fused teh hell out me so much i sent my troops to the wrong civ during a war opps Smile

i dont usually play prince but i think im getting the hang of it now! but large maps play so much different to normal ones

Spoiler Text Below - Highlight to See Hidden Text

that start spot isnt so bad but the island below it is a pain if u like perfect city placement, an where not teh only civ to get that set back.
at least it allows you to make a big city, stops over expansion which is one of my main mistakes, the island your on is a nice size has some great resources an prime sites to make your empire go any way you wish just wish is taken on the Egyptians early an cleared off those Mayas from my island that would have given me the room i needed to win this one.
don't think i need to mention the sort of role a navy plays here. but i dont think your gonna conquer this world several civs going cultural i think there was 5 legendary city's when this ended every civ but babylon on a spaceship and every civ still alive tho a few badly bruised
