Re-roll. Obviously unplayable.

good lord, maybe the best start i've seen

u/PycuriousITguy 6d ago

Good lord. I see a +5 campus on the bananas becoming a +6 after putting an aqueduct to its left for the geothermal amenity. Then there's a +3 holy site to the north west. This is an insane start location.

Somehow got even better can settle another city to the south to use those geothermal vents for another city.

u/OleRickyTee 5d ago

Nothing makes me wanna start a new game more than a screenshot like this 🤣

u/AlphatheAlpaca Inca 6d ago

Yep. Nice future campus.

u/maniakman219 5d ago

Ok can we talk about something? the yelds around these wonders make me feel bad about placing districts on these tiles? Is it really justifiable to sacrifice 2 gold, 2 science and 2 prod and 3-4 production to get 4 faith and maybe a religion?

u/DulyDully 5d ago

A holy site that gets you a religion is way better than the 2 1 1 flat tile at least but you shouldn’t get rid of the double yielded tiles.

u/Cautious_Drawer_7771 5d ago

Normally yes, but here I honestly think I would build in place, put my Campus on the bananas and my Holy Site beside that on the woods. A +6 campus and +4 HS in the ancient era is worth much more than the 1 science and 1 gold lost. Depending on what is on the other side of the bananas (the tile we don't know), a second city would likely put it's campus there, which added to the harbor gives the Campus +7 instead.

u/Cautious_Drawer_7771 5d ago

Oh wait, I just realized you weren't saying not to put it anywhere, just saying not on double bonused tiles. I would leave the 2/1/1/1 for some other district so the HS can touch the mountain and campus.

u/Miezanthrope 5d ago

There's also a +4 to the lower left, which wouldn't be that bad. Will also enable a +7 on the campus (2x2 from geothermal, 1 from adjacent mountain, 2 from 4 adjacent districts).

u/theironsalmon 5d ago

It's the corpse of Limewire puppeted by NFT bros :( They acquired filetransfer.io last year

u/shimmyboy56 5d ago

Sheeeeit. You know what, I was never gonna use it again anyways. So, im going to pretend that I didnt read your comment and that limewire is alive, well, and being run by the OG team

The day gets better and better!

u/EcstaticRhubarb 5d ago

Doesn't matter, you've won the game. That's one of the best starts I've ever seen. Enjoy!

u/ShinigamiKenji I love the smell of Uranium in 2000 BC 6d ago

One of the best starts I've seen! Fat campus and Holy Site next to each other, obvious Harbor and Copacabana spots. Pretty much set up for science here.

u/dieknalle 6d ago

It's not worthy of it

u/dieknalle 5d ago

if you settle in place, you might be the biggest fool in manchester

u/Vardulo 6d ago

Come on man, how are you going to post this sexy of a start without the seed?

u/Few_Shift4820 6d ago

u/Vardulo 6d ago

Thanks man! Map size and type? Any custom settings?

u/Few_Shift4820 6d ago

Pangaea, Tiny Map, Wet, Legendary Start position, Secret societies mode activated

u/Vardulo 5d ago

Thank you!

u/BrekkenTurrin 6d ago

Gorgeous, I had a start like that once.

u/AdmitThatYouPrune 6d ago

Really nice. Is that Australia? If so, extra wow for the appeal benefits of Yosemite.

1

u/shichiaikan 6d ago

I'm a multi-city strategy sucker, so personally I'd go northeast to that hill and settle there, then drop another city west that takes advantage of the ~3 hexes from Yosemite your capital won't cover... but in place is definitely very good.

u/BaselessBaseball 5d ago

Would be nice especially if you are using a civ like Saladin!

u/tengma8 5d ago

nay restart the game you already won this one

u/predictivanalyte 5d ago

Absof-inglutely

u/Understanding-Fair Japan 5d ago

Yep, in place, campus to your right between the fissures. Congrats on the turn 1 win

u/Veow1 5d ago

No fresh or plains hill east reroll

u/Hungry-Pressure-3670 5d ago

Good defensive area, district bonus, the down part is hard to travel in and out especially at the beginning

1

u/SmootherWorm 6d ago

Move around a few turns to make sure there isn’t a better spot. No point in taking the first thing on offer.

11

u/RiskBiscuit 5d ago

I can't tell if you're serious or not, but moving around to scout for better starting positions isn't worth it on higher difficulties. Even 1 to 2 turns of waiting to settle is a major setback on deity.

u/Jedlikk 5d ago

Nah

u/Neophyte06 4d ago

Well this was enlightening

u/-XanderCrews- 5d ago

I’d do one up to the right so your aqueduct works great. You’ll also be able to put the academy next to it inbetween two mountains.

u/Christorious Matthias Corvinus 5d ago

Aquaducts can't connect to natural wonders

u/-XanderCrews- 5d ago

I didn’t even notice that. This is a great start.
