Restarting Fever

I agree - But i'm not a fan of the random map generator, although an improvement from civ2's it can still make some pretty ugly and spastic planets, that I just hate playing on.

Excellent points, Gregg! And I must say, that even with a couple of restarts on the opener, on Emperor level, often you STILL get outclassed (I've not tried Diety yet, but I'm getting there).

That's exactly what I mean tho...right now, aside from using the obvious beatdown scheme, I CAN'T reliably beat the AI yet on Emperor or Diety. One settler killed by raging barbarians, one warrior lost at the wrong moment and it sets you back impossibly. (I HATE it when someone else gets the FREAKIN' UN, but can't bring myself to disable that victory!) GRRRRR
