I was wondering if anyone had experience a random Continents map in which the barbarians had a large continent to themselves and were able to develop “peacefully”.
In my current game, more messing about than anything, I’m playing Mao on Noble and, as time went by, discovered all 9 civs on the same continent which covered about 50% of the east-west map. I’d navigated all the coastal waters with a work boat quite early on and discovered a small island group just off my south east coast and I started colonising this early – the AI joined a little later courtesy of their usual “map-cheating”
It was once I’d got to Optics and sent the Caravel west that I discovered more land and, rather than the small to medium island chain I was expecting, had to negotiate my way round a large land mass. On my travels I discovered roaded jungles and two barbarian cities – not to mention the many villages waiting to be popped.
I’ve yet to fully scout the land as I have only just got my explorer onto the island – wanted to circumnavigate first – and have a galleon on the way with a knight, maceman and catapult with another soon to follow carrying Choks and a worker. So it will be a little while before I can get the fully extent of this “new world”.
The plan, of course will be to take the barb cities and grab as much land as possible – and pop the huts for the odd free tech
– so it is likely that I will be far advanced by the time anyone else turns up to claim so land. With any luck I will also bag most of the decent resources from the continent and see few problems in claiming the whole of it for my empire.
But my question is whether anyone else has seen a similar continent before and what this one looked like.

That was hilarious. Prince level, raging barbs.
I’ve never made it far enough into industrial age to have any experience of things like infantry, tanks, biology, tanks, etc.
