My report is here
It's mostly complete, except for the final part, the end game.
However, something very strange happened in my game which I can't account for, and which in my mind invalidates any comparisons with other players: the barbarians didn't seem to build any units that required resources. I think I saw one barbarian axeman, but I didn't see any horsemen or swordsmen or macemen. Just archers, longbowmen, and riflemen.
I'm not sure why that was. http://realmsbeyond.net/forums/images/smilies/huh.gif As the game was, I found it fairly challenging, but not overwhelming (easier than, say, the 'original' Epic 4). I haven't played Civ4 that much, and I assumed when I was playing that barbarians simply didn't build units requiring resources, other than the occasional axeman. Now that I see the true challenge other players faced, it leaves me feeling a little miffed. http://realmsbeyond.net/forums/images/smilies/rant.gif
Does anyone have any idea why this might have happened in my game? I have an unmodified version of Civilization 4, with the 1.61 patch (I would imagine that the save wouldn't even be openable in any earlier patch anyway).
