As things stand. The world in 1700BC:




We have 3 cities:
Washington - size 9 with palace and pyramids.
New York - Size 4 with a temple.
Boston - size 2 - in the middle of nowhere!

We are currently number 2 on the power chart, just behind persia. Top in culture. Bottom in power.

Have 590g in the bank. +11gpt. Polytheism due in 26 turns.

Our military consists of:
3 warriors. 2 workers and 4 scouts.


We have met:
Persia: Equal in tech - 0 gold. 5 cities
Rome: Equal in tech - 43 gold. 4 cities.
Germany: Down pottery - 25 gold. 4 cities.
Japan: Down Alphabet, Mysticism - 30 gold. 3 cities.
Egypt: Equal in tech - 7 gold. 4 cities.
Carthage: Equal in tech - 195 gold. 5 cities.

Still to meet: Ottomans and Russians.


On the upside: horses are nearby. 

And the challenges: We have no army. Good land is at a premium on this map, unless you like desert and jungle. Worse still, the nearest iron is miles away. And Rome is building down towards us. Not a good combination.

I suggest pushing our first settlers up towards Rome as far as they will go. But beware, there are barbarians about! 

So, anyone interested in this one?
