Hi guys, obviously this is my thread for me playing in PB87 and I am going to write this in English, as my German is limited to what I had learned way back ago as a teenager from the German adult movies.
I am playing Boadicea of the Celts and I cannot hide my disappointment, as I believe this is almost the worst possible combo, but it is what it is and I will try to make the most out of it and have fun in the process. Even greater disapponntmet is the fact we have capitols with one of my neighbors which are almost touching cultures, or they will touch in the second culture pop. We have our capitols literally 3 tiles apart. Which changes the game a lot and becomes more of a gamble, rather than civ, but I will have to live with it too.
Partly to my inexperience in the rules, I had situation early on with the initial archer. I had played already 2 games in here, but kind of forgot it must stay within the capitol and I decided to move my settler before settling and use archer to explore, so when I realised I have to keep the archer within the city square of my still unbuilt city, I wrote to the admins, but they calmed me down that because settler have 2 moves and archer have just 1, it is normal sometimes the archer to drag on. But I still had a situation with my archer making his first move in the opposite direction and the unusual proximity of my French neighbor, which warrior showed up 2 tiles from my unsettled settler lol.
I came up with a plan how to avoid being warrior-killed. Not much because I would suffer for being killed in a just started game, but instead that my early death would inballance the whole game for the rest of the players. How I found a way to deal with it, read in my next post, as I have to go out to work
