Did anyone else notice a sharp rise in the challenge of playing the Emperor difficulty?
Previous to the expansion I had managed to get every victory type in it and was ready to advance to Immortal, but after installing BNW I'm having trouble even reaching the Industrial Era.
Mostly the problem seems to rest with science. No matter how much I invest, the tech gap between me and the AI just seems to keep increasing up to the point where I'm at war with someone a whole era beyond me.
Warfare is also a bit of a pain since armies no longer seem to have any cost for the AI and all I can do is maintain a tight defensive line to keep wasting wave after wave. But still, that's not as shocking as being beaten out of wonders that are still a couple of techs away from me.
I scaled back down to King but found that to be too easy still, so I figure there's something in the algorithm that went awry for Emperor.
So, anyone else notice a change?
