So, I've been playing a map that I created which is Earth-like (meaning it has continents roughly in the place of the America's, Europe, Africa and the Middle East). I have 14 Civs and 20 City-States all concentrated in the Europe-Africa-Middle East section of the map. I have made it to the Industrial era and many of the Civs are about there as well. The problem that I see is that while access to the "New World" has been available for many Civs for a while, None have expanded to it. Even despite congestion in the "Old World". While I do think Civ V has had this problem all along, I believe that BNW enhances this problem with the additional "Penalties" that they have put in place for expansion. This is a bit frustrating. There are even resources that are available in the "New World" that aren't available in the "Old World"
Well, not only do I have a problem, but I have a rough sketch of a solution. They should allow for the creation of Colonies. Colonies, could be like a Puppeted city, maybe with limited buildings available, but less of a impact on unhappiness than regular puppets. Also, maybe only one Colony could be Annexed per continent. This would allow for expansion, lessening the negative impact (but not "erasing" it) and allow the player (or the A.I.) to gain access to new resources. Not to mention be less boring and add some "Age of Discovery" excitement to the game.
Well, as I said, it is a rough sketch. I just hate being limited and the fact that the AI won't expand to other continents is aggravating and takes the fun out of those types of maps or scenarios.
