I tried a Greece game, but I ended up losing around 1900 to a mega Germany. I wanted to turtle up and build wonders but in retrospect it wasn't a great idea, seeing as at the end of the game I only had around 600 points. It was really difficult to keep up with tech so I lost most of the wonders...

I tried another game with the natives. No major problems to report, but I found something strange going on with barbarians and ideologies.

I mean that ideologies should appear later. I had to switch from freedom to autocracy around 1820 because everyone had an ideology and the pressure was too much. As for making peace with the pirates I think I clicked on the notification when I met them, not the city directly. The natives (the...

I'm trying the US and I am noticing a couple things: - immediately on spawn I was able to choose an ideology. Chose Freedom for 6 foreign legion (far better than anything the europeans have at the time) and was able to swiftly conquer everything in north America. I think ideology should be...

Here's my log! Portugal is absent even from the list when you choose the civ, the US is there but in the game it didn't spawn. Are the unit spawns completely random? How do you ensure the challenge is even possible if so? I assumed the date would be slightly randomized but I waited a lot of...

Cool! I also tried a native american game, some observations: - no Portugal in the major civ list for them, seems they would be an important civ to have? - a few turns after spawn i got a message for the aztecs adopting an ideology. I checked the screen and every other known civ also had an...

Yeah I know, but having them wipe everything before medieval civs spawn doesn't seem that useful?

I just played a vikingland game too! The the auto-war with everyone is also a bit worrying because the AI is sometimes dumb and I can just show up up with a couple longboats and they completely surrender and give me everything they have (I played on immortal). But I must also say that in virtue...

I saw the same for Portugal in my last game. I think they esistate for a couple turns and Spain buys the land around them.

Yeah now that I think about it, it was the same for me! I think I saw english, indian and japanese Mexico, but most of the games it was japanese. It surely has to do with the other point as well.

Yeah settlers should definitely be able to stack with military units, I forgot about that. Surely AI isn't able to protect them for that reason right now.

I've seen them at least a couple of times just having the east coast and a big city on the west. Like 3 cities total. Once I've seen them with a city in north Korea but I'm pretty sure it was the result of China collapsing and sometimes cities get handed to far away civs. I'm not sure why they...

Wow it can't be a coincidence, if you got tunisian Pope too XD Can't remember the names of the siberian cities now, but yeah it was difficult to reach all the way to Vladivostok. I got there by open borders with China but I ended up having a bit too many cities so I got a civil war later in the...

Yeah I guess celtic England could represent maybe scots taking over the government so it's not really a problem, but it's fun to think of them as a council of druids ruling over modern Albion hahah

I can confirm it's still happening, I guess it depends on the civ, some can make peace and others can't.
