The "Foreign" category of my stability seems to always be low in all my games, and I'm not sure what's causing it. Does anyone have any ideas? This is an example from a recent game of mine.

Well, it's taken me an hour to read this, and what do I find? Discontinued or forgotten. Darn.

That Viceroy start... I've never seen anything like it. There's heavy colonization, but what surprises me most? Japan. It's fully colonized the Philippines, and even built San Francisco (which, for some reason, you forgot to mention)! Unfortunately, America's not too well off, what with France...

I know I shouldn't necro, but what difficulty is this?

Ah, I see... Yeah, SE makes sense. So, go for sailing, and maybe mysticism after that. That sounds good.

So, after my utter failure of a first round, I tried to get back up on my feet. First, I switched production to a Warrior and chop-rushed it out, finishing my Settler soon after that. I then explored a bit with my Warrior, then sent it back to escort my Settler, founding Edirne. Did I put this...

OK, good to know. However, it's getting late here, so I think I'll upload tomorrow.

So, out of curiosity, what are the dimensions people usually change their screenshots to? I don't want to have to put mine in spoilers.

So, I think I'm going to update pretty soon, but do you think I should continue even after my atrocious start, or should I just regenerate the map now that I know what not to do?

Thanks for the encouragement, guys - I just don't interact with people online very much, so I'm not used that kind of stuff. So, anyway, I'll try to recover from my horrible start.

Yes, yes, I suck, I know. I did realize my mistake concerning the settler after posting the update. So, I'll bring my warrior down to explore closer to home. But, you know, I'm sort of discouraged from playing now what with all this harsh criticism that I'm not used to getting, so I'll update...

So, I played some more, and found some interesting things. To start with, I settled in place and founded Istanbul: Well, well, well. Sugar to the north. I'm glad I didn't settle SE like I was considering. I started construction on a Worker and researching Animal Husbandry, sending my warrior...

Well, as you'll see in a bit, I have a lot of happy resources nearby.

Okay, I'll do that. I'm just about to continue playing, so I should post an update soon. Thanks for all your support so far! :D
