Okay I have bought the game this week and only played like 150 turns so far, using your mod.
But I am a veteran of the original.
Doesn't anyone feel that it's just too easy to explore the entire landmass of the new world? I mean, it took a while for the Europeans to leave the coastal areas and drive inwards, and those were all costly and dangerous expeditions back then.
In my game with the Spanish, it was more like a race to visit as many native villages as possible and cash in their massive welcome presents before other European powers could do it.
My 2 scouts explored the entire landmass and visited all native villages without ever getting into trouble. I mean, how about some native tribes being more hostile right from the beginning? Appears to me they all start with friendly relations that will only deteriorate after a long history of close borders. From what I've read, the explorers weren't always greeted nicely.
I understand there's a chance to piss of natives or outright die by visiting the wrong burial ruins, but that just wasn't enough for me.
So what do you guys think about this matter? Any creative ideas for delaying the complete mapping of the new world?
Okay this may be the wrong board since the mod is already finished, but I figured there'd be a decent community in here.
