	My first PTW experience... Remove this text

I just bought this game a few days ago, and finally had some time to sit down and start my first game...

Large Map/8 Civs/Regent/Full Random Settings/France(Random)/Future Age Start Scenario

Opponents(Random):
Arabia
Germany
Korea
Persia
Mongols
Zulu
Celts

The map turns out to be a continents map with three main landmasses.

I share one with Germany and the Celts while Persia has its own continent and the Mongols, Arabs, Zulu and Korea share the other. All of us are about the same size with only Korea being the smallest(3 cities). Ocean seperates all land so naval strategies will play a part in any D-Day type invasions.

So anyways, I start building improvements and units mostly Riflemen and Guerillas, since I had no Rubber or Uranium. I set up ROPs with Germany and the Celts(whom I finally got Rubber from to build my Marines and Infantry). But my oil source ran out so I have no access to tanks.

Arabia is building wonders left and right and is ahead in points big time. But I only need uranium to finish off my SS, yet none of the other civs have harbors. Arabia signed an MPP with the Zulu then tried to demand money from me, I denied and they declared war on me. So I took the two Zulu cities near my borders with Riflemen but got all the other civs with MPPs against me so Arabia never even laid a hand on me.

I have over 11k in Gold and making over 180 gpt. I'm massing Infantry while I have the Rubber but unless I destroy Arabia somehow, they'll win by score. It's the mid 1200s but this is a great game and the 1.14 patch seems to be much better after what I have heard.. I'll post a map SS later today since I just woke up
