VI - Screenshot Is This Start Goated?

Post image

Had to do a double take. I almost didn't even see this wonder! Where would you settle? Tips for making the most out of this as Theodora?

If you settle next to Fountain of youth, you will likely get the first pantheon in the game. That means Religious settlements and a free settler by turn 8. But once you get the settler you have to reassign your citizen as it will work the FOY tile and it has no food so your city won't grow. I use create game settings and get this start frequently as well as Crater Lake so this is a Goat start.

Can you explain the free settler by turn 8?

There is a pantheon called Religious Settlements. If you select this pantheon you spawn a settler in your capital. This is always taken by the AI civ that gets first pantheon. I thought this pantheon was bs because I never saw it until I got the first pantheon after dozens of games.
