Hello,
I just "finished" my first G&K game. More precisely, I was finished. I played as Rome on a Standard Continents map on Prince difficulty. In Vanilla, I played at Emperor, so stepping down seemed like a good idea.
I quickly encountered France, Egypt and Russia. Russia already having two cities at around turn 20. While I thought at first that they got a lot of culture from ruins, I noticed that other civs started to expand pretty aggressively too. On turn 90 I got DoWed from France and Egypt. So far, CiV as usual. However, France had about 4 Archers, 1 Swordsman, and 4 Warriors, and Egypt joined with 6 Horse Archers, 4 Warriors and 1 Catapult. A few turns later, I had my own "Fall of Rome" scenario.
This sounds really tough, given that it is only Prince difficulty. I don't even know if it is possible to produce this many units and several cities in that time.
So I wonder, am I the only one who experienced something like this?
