Try the Expansionists! Support Apolyton, buy Civilization 2

Hey all,

If you are finding the startgame to be a bit slow, you might want to try playing as an 'expansionist' civ. Their free scout unit at the begining really allows for goodie hut tripping for an early tech boost.

Give it a shot.

Support Apolyton, buy Civilization III: Complete

On the large/huge maps, Expansionist can be very handy. Not only do you have the room to explore, and find probably 8-12 huts easy to get tech, there is a natural built in tech-stagnation on the larger maps, so the free techs are worth that much more.

Plus later (and this would work as well on smaller maps), if you want to explore someone's territory you're at peace with, well the 0/0 stats of the scout mean he's non-military, and free to explore. At least no one's ever asked mine to leave.

On the other hand, I played the Iroquois twice on a standard map and found a grand total of three (3) villages to explore.
