Rome in Old World. Single Player Islands Random map. "The Strong" level (one above "The Good" I have been playing on. Simple outcome, everyone was so settled on their islands (except Persia who jumped over) that it was almost impossible to force a bridgehead. Never playing this map style again

Map of known world in a game of Old World. Greece (blue - me) starts in the Center/East. Persia (red) starts is the South West Kush (yellow) starts in the North West

Goal was a quick win, ideally a double win as this is easier than I typically run. In the end I won, in 101 turns so pretty fast, and flirted with the Double win from about turn 48 through 60. First time playing a random desert map, it is definitely different. Some cities close, others apart

Random large map, Random leader gave me Carthage. Set me up for a trade/diplomacy/espionage type game I *think* the script is multiple continents, but cannot be sure. First solid border between myself and Babylon was mostly determined by a mountain block, only could get round the edges.

Double Victory (Had double the VPs of the #2 spot, guess this is easier in a dual) Used Hatti's unique fun power of any unit can chop trees to go scorched earth around places Assyria was trying to settle. No forests, or even scrub left for them. Starve them of wood. Quick win (77 turns)

3rd go round with Kush in Old World. This one was a loss, as Rome hit the magic number (65) before me. I was on 61, with 4 VPs going to score within the next 4 turns. Never triggered a meeting event for Persia (red)

Amicalola Falls today. We hiked up the valley trail, up the stairs and back along the East Ridge.

New nation was interesting, only 3 families and you have to juggle their "influence" to avoid repercussions. I kept 1 family ahead the whole time, but that choice would be interesting for the future (when I eventually get that DLC)

While you pay higher and higher prices at the gas pump and the grocery store, Donald Trump is planning to use $1.8 billion of YOUR tax money for a slush fund to pay his buddies. He's shown where his priorities lie time and time again – he'll do anything to enrich himself and NOTHING to help you.
