Generally speaking, in your first turn, the primary thing you want to do is emissary (hire as mercenaries) as many neutral units as you can. Secondarily, you want to take as many cities as you can. Since minor unit neutrals hang out in and about neutral cities, these two actions go hand in hand.
To emissary neutral units, you bring them gold, iron, timber, and/or food. With that in mind, lets jump into the game.
To the left you see the map of the entire world. In your game find the one dark blue square on the Global Map and click on it.
