c3c starting position. not a very strong one. Inflate your Upload Space

ok. this is definitely the worst starting position I've ever seen.



More than a screenpage (at 1600x1200) of water on all sides.

The civ in question still hasn't got mathematics while the rest of the world is in the industrial age.

If anything, its a pretty defendable position, and I doubt the AI could ever assault it once you fortressed and garrisoned the second land square.

So yx.... what are you going to do with them now you've found them? Can't land a unit and Leader farm as you couldn't be sure you wouldn't take the city, there are no resources, it would be hopelessly corrupt...

Maybe the Iroquois' power will show if it reaches the UN vote - just imagine if they held the deciding vote!

Well put. I was trying to think of a way to say that without 100 words. Very cool.

i wonder how much cooking i'd have to do to make that start a viable one for myself as an OCC cultural.

as it stands i'd suck ass.

maybe if seafaring + industrious gave shielded seas... nah.
