In C3C COTM 174 you are Montezuma of the Aztecs.

The Aztecs are able to build their UU early, and it has the advantage of moving 2 squares per turn (aside from hills and mountains) instead of one. This is a nice starting location that is good for any victory condition you want to achieve. Cultural, domination, diplomatic, or space.

But you are not the only civilization with an early UU. And you are not the only civilization with a nice start by a river. You'll need your wits about you as you deal with pesky barbarians and feisty neighbors. Good luck!

As always, have fun playing the GOTM and we hope you join us in the postgame discussions!
