    Arrian (That sneaky SOB ) did a marvelous job diplowise in that game.

    And he was very gracious about it as well

          Oversight...

          The early game is so pivotal that, without it, you just to water down the satisfaction of strategic victory by opening the door to pure luck and random chance.

          Granted, it's built into the game, but let's at least try to minimize it.

              A vote for pure Civ is a vote for bull Civ when it comes to demo games...

              That is, unless you don't mind the idea spending the first six months of the game digging your team out of a jungle start on a small, isolated island that has no resources other than bananas. Oh, where do I sign up?

              You might as well concede defeat now and save the six months.

                    You know full well why we don't like that map. It is because you left a lot of blatant changes on the map that both destroys realism, and game balance.

                    I mean, what are the odds of our continet having 1 iron on it? And one horse?. Even C3C was not that stingy. And what about all of those ocean tile right next to the coastal tile? And why the hell are there no gems on the entire map?

                    Mate, the PTWDG2 map is the shodiest one I have ever seen.

                      Apart from that though, it is fine.

                            Nope, worst map I have experienced for a DemoGame.

                              Tabemono always got a chuckle (if mingled with a few choice words) out of our 'doughnut'.

                              Anyway, anyone considered some of the 'MP' game maps?

                              Balanced, for instance? Haven't fired any up myself, but they sound promising.

                                All balanced means is that all of the mil resources are within 5 tiles of the capital. other than that, it is not balanced.
