    Culturally linked placement

    I've noticed this before but it seems far worse now: Playing as Nubia, (while I wait for YNAEMP maps to be compatible) I end up on every possible terrain EXCEPT desert or flood plains. What's going on here?

    Tiny Islands not so tiny

    I've played a few games lately with tiny islands, and they're just not tiny any more. I recall that they used to be a few hexes in size, maybe 7 at the most but now it looks like I picked some blend of fractals and large islands. Did something change (playing BMW and have scrambled maps but...

    Rebalancing pre BNW civs

    I'm wondering about something after starting a game as Byzantium: shouldn't a civ with a strong bent towards religion be, well better at the religion game?

    Assyria underpowered?

    I'm trying to give every BNW civ a chance but I just don't get Assyria. I see when he pops as another civ in my games and usually only has one city, maybe up to 4 (guessing tall is the way to go?) and hopelessly backward. I decided to give it a shot myself and that library isn't really that...

So guaranteed on the...

    Does diplomatic victory ever fail?

    I'm curious about this as it relates to Civ 5 and G&K: If you win by diplomatic victory, does the thing that used to happen (in at least one earlier iteration of the game), where other civs hate you enough that they refuse to accept the vote and fight it out with the winner?

    Barbarians galore

    I'm playing as Carthage (Harbors FTW) on Prince on an Earth map and it seems like Barbarians are everywhere! They respawn camps much more quickly than they used to. The only thing I can think of is that I'm playing with fewer other civs on this game than usual but it still seems faster. Anyone...
