PLEASE NOTE THE DATE.
Last game was a tough Monarch game, where we were all stuck at war with half the AI (me too, I played last game). So, I decided that this Emperor game should be an easier affair. You get one of the better Civ's in Vanilla, with arguably the best UU, the mighty Praetorian. The map is a Hub, albeit of Small size, so you should be relatively safe in your starting spoke. Good luck and happy stomping!
JC is Expansive and Organised ; starting with Mining and Fishing. Your Expansive trait gives +3 health per city, double production speed of Granary and Harbor.. Your Organised trait gives you Civic upkeep reduced 50 percent, double production speed of Lighthouse and Courthouse
JC's unique unit is the Praetorian and it is truly awesome, it is an 8 strength swordsman, it requires Iron to build
As always, have fun playing the GOTM and we hope you join us in the postgame discussions!
