Prince
Played game in latest patch. 1.412 Emperor Denmark Standard 10 civs 13 CS.
It's a dramatic change from 1.392
Little wonder competition except for Darius , who ended up getting eaten by others, and Hiawatha.
No civ had excess gold. All had around 200-500 at each check except Japan which wasn't doing much in its corner.
Rome did it's typical bad boy act.
Little "Small Civ" competition from Germany or Russia like usual.
I excluded Greece from game.
The highest bid was 60 from AI.
I was far ahead of AI in nearly all aspects.
Only 2 civs were keeping ahead of my science and I wasn't trying to hard here.
The others did not lag however.
Overall, it seems too easy. Much easier than 1392 or earlier Emperor versions.
No bugs except that I didn't receive any castles for the liberty finisher. I had already researched chivalry. This was also a bug in 1392. It's not a bother with ingame editor or if I'm winning by such a large margin.
Are the standard maps bigger?
How to get AI to use its Iron? I used Ingame editor to give each civ 4 Iron sources. By turn 150, no one had more than a few swordsmen. Most of civs using levies, archers, spears. Their workers are more focused on building 3 food farms than mines on iron.
