So I thought I'd take a few screenshots of my current game. Not sure if anyone is actually interested but here's how it's panning out:
This is the peninsula I started on. I had no other opposition here and could basically build my first four cities freely. Something about this map is just so awesome. Everything just seems to be in the right place, and the right size, Athens is in the north, Sparta in the south, even Argos and Corinth are in roughly the right place (I think). But yeah, basically this is my version of Greece as it were.
As you go further south over the little land bridge you see that I'm connected to a larger continent. Here is where the Persians used to hold sway, until I forced my way through. Rhodes and Macedon used to be Persian cities, but I've since renamed them. As you can see the Persians are just clinging onto their last remaining city in the south. I'll deal with them soon enough, but as you've probably noticed, I'm gearing up for a war with my newer neighbours the Siamese to the West as of right now. Just look at all my units. It's fucking glorious! No way am I fucking up an invasion this time round. The Siamese recently denounced me and they actually had control of Pasargadae until I wrestled it from them. So, with that in mind, I'm focusing on them at the moment. Also notable is that I took Monaco at the request of Singapore, they put up a decent fight, but they succumbed to my attacks eventually. All in all, things are shaping up pretty nicely on my this continent.
Here is the small island just to the west of my starting peninsula. I took cape town quite early on and have had the benefit of stockholm's friendship right throughout the game. I was eyeing up florence for a takeover, however they are just a bit too far out of reach for the time being. Especially when I have the Siamese knocking on my door.
And here's the second continent in my game, you can't really see it all but it's basically shaped like Africa. You can see the Egyptians are beasts over here, that great wall just looks epic. Especially with so many desert tiles. Really makes them look majestic. The other two factions here are relatively small and to the north.
So yeah, that's what's happening in my game at the moment. I am currently friends with the Iriqious and have a research agreement with them but everyone else bar the Aztecs have tried denouncing me at some point or another.
I might post some more screenshots a bit later on if people are interested in seeing how this plays out
Sorry for the mammoth post btw guys, I'd put the entire thing in hide tags but it won't seem to let me put one hide tag inside another.
