    Best superpower civs for the late game

    Rome's UP is also strong throughout the game -and if you can stay small and survive the barbs then it's possible to own 2 shrines in Italy and hold Jerusalem for Orthodoxy+Judaism -which with the Dome and North Africa's oil is quite persuasive.

    The Dutch will be very fortunate when they spawn.

    [modmodmod] The Sword of Islam Reborn

    Thanks Thanks so much for fixing it - I thought it might be palmforest related. Here's another (minor) bug -playing as Yemen just for longevity rather than historic goals.

    [modmodmod] The Sword of Islam Reborn

    So, I'm really excited to give Portugal a go tonight... looks like some really great work has gone into this. Just to flag, when I run it, I get these weird red circles on some map squares: They appear on the 'Middle East and Greece 750AD' but not on the 'Old' or 'Other maps'.

    I'd like to see the Panama and Suez Canals which I know have been discussed previously as being problematic as they should be tied to specific tiles. Perhaps the concept could be switched from the tile/physical building of the canals to the management and investment companies that managed their...

    Completely Dumb Ideas

    I think this is actually not a bad idea -could be also used for Stonehenge which the English/British never get to build. Maybe Stonehenge could provide stone and some culture to cities on the same landmass? Or maybe attract Catholicism to British cities to reflect the Saxon conversions/Celtic...

    Civilisation Attributes open discussion

    Maybe a 'Lumberjack' equivalent of a fast worker could be their UU given they have a limited opportunities for war and need to develop the land quickly. I wonder if the UB could combine the benefits of a Jail on maintenance with a culture buff to recognise the First Nations/English/French...

    Bug Reports and Technical Issues

    So, here's a slightly odd UN resolution request. (And yes, the map had been tweaked to add some bonus resources whilst I was seeing what it would take for the Vikings to take a non-historical victory).

    Potential Civ Additions

    To address the issue of wasted map squares for ocean/islands, whilst preserving Iceland and the Canaries/Azores be as follows: creation of a new terrain type (maybe "Atlantic Ocean") which takes 3 movement points to travel across, thus making the time to get to the destination/distance...
