Session time: 1 hour 30 min.
Welcome to the first post in Let's Play: Civ V! As a student, I am required to make 5 blogs about my time here in Civ V. As a gamer, I'll be here much more than 5. Being able to play a game like Civ V as part of a class was unexpected, but very welcoming. Having said that, let's jump into the action in the first session!
After starting the game, I was faced with one of the biggest challenges of the game: character selection. Looking through the choices, only one name stuck out: Mongolia, led by none other than Genghis Khan. Not only was Mongolia a huge empire, but I'm a South Park fan and am always looking to add the City Wok guy in any place.
While I was exploring, I came across the Byzantine Empire, led by Theodora. After exploring the diplomacy tool with Theodora, I struck an alliance with her, as well as traded embassies for our empires. I also set up an embassy with Alexander of the Greeks. During/Following these actions, I got rid of a couple of Barbarian encampments, which was pretty easy considering they're in the game to be cannon fodder.
Yes it took me an hour and a half for all this, but I'm new so leave me alone.
Hope you enjoyed the first post! Hopefully in the next post I'll be able to put some videos or pictures relating to my adventures in the game, but until then so long!

This is a good first supplemental post. I like how you discussed the thought process of your first choices in the game. Great use of pictures. Incorporating not only images of the game, but other illustrations is a good way to show your personality through your blog and get the most out of the experience. This post was fun to read because your humor really came through. Great start.
