There wasn't really anything special about the setup for this map. I rolled a number of starts until I got one that looked interesting, that was all. I did add a copper resource to the northwest of the player's start, because there was none anywhere in the vicinity initially. It looked like the horses at the start (which were there naturally) factored into most people's games more.

Funny how starting with two entire ERAs of extra techs didn't really seem to help the AIs very much. If anything, it clearly hurt them in some games, as they did excess wonder building instead of expansion. Either that, or you guys have gotten really, really good at overcoming tech holes.

Another possibility that crossed my mind is vertical vs. horizontal expansion. The capitals were all big real early, the AI's seemed to take advantage of all the classical-era-tech fairly well. I wonder if the AI doesn't like to build settlers if it can grow?

Someone can try it - give all AI's an additional 2 workers, 2 warriors and 2 settlers, and see what happens.

Hello!

I played this adventure too, but couldnt post until now because I recently made account. I guess its some kind of forum protection. I am long time reader of these forums, and I returned to civving again when I saw there are 2 more expansion to be played. This would be my 1st post here.

I still could send game and write reports if needed//possible, i made some notes and shots

I found the game fun, I am emperor player mostly, and though game would be challenging with AI bonuses. I won Diplo victory at 1882 tho I was going for spaceship intially.

I think extra techs didnt help much AI because I noticed they very slowly expanded due to building extra things they could I guess. And each AI got different religion so that slowed teching nicely. Not to mention isolated AIs on islands, slowing them even more.

Looking forward to next game!
