Dale, nice work. 
But I have some problems:
- Diplomacy isn't working for me.
Always got that Python Exception:
- Pirates showed up in Turn 0
- not a bug, but shouldn't have western civilizations shorter travel time to the west instead of east (6<-->12) ?

But I have some problems:
- Diplomacy isn't working for me.

Code:
File "CvDiplomacyInterface", line 15, in beginDiplomacy
Attribute Error: 'CyGame' object has no attribute 'inDiplomacy'
- Pirates showed up in Turn 0
- not a bug, but shouldn't have western civilizations shorter travel time to the west instead of east (6<-->12) ?
