With the NEW SVN, i start with 3 civs, and within 200 turns, the civs are past 8 civs, and climbing . . so do beware of this . . .
New SVN? I used the build linked in the OP dunno if that is the most current. I started as minor civ myself. I just started and I am still a bit overwhelmed by the slew of options and how customizable all is but I love it, so meaty I have to dig into it
What would you suggest in terms of pace options and map size?
