Really?? What happened? I've played with it on my own games and not seen any adverse impact...
IIRC, people complained about smaller maps. And that they are restricted in their choices of good land. Afforess agreed.

Question: was terrain damage removed in 1.75?
Some interesting barbarian spawns on lonely islands... I think the pictures speak for themselves...

So? And your suggestion is....?
Limit the maximum barbarian units at any time of a game? Limit the places barbarians could be spawned? What?

Going into turn 200 (on Normal speed, so industrial era), I've noticed a slowdown in game speed. I'm running on a top-end machine, and am used to some slowdown...but I think this has to do with barbarians.
When I went into WB, I saw there are Barbarian ships EVERYWHERE. It was quite surprising how many there were. I went through and deleted most of them, and sure enough, the turn speed was faster.
I don't play with aggressive barbarians, etc. But I've noticed that they seem to:
- Be more aggressive than usual
- Be in much higher numbers than usual
- And because I've explored my continent (and have no fog-of-war), I seem to be dealing with them less than the AI
- The AI players seem to have had growth stiffled due to barbarians

I don't know; I'm not a modder. perhaps limit the number of barbarians on a landmass based on the size of the landmass? I'm just reporting unusual behavior which I haven't seen before; trying to be helpful!
Honestly I don't really mind this as it keeps the islands free for colonization and gets my troops XP![]()
The bug with the pacifist saves appears to get progressively worse. I now see the "Pacifist Peaceful Pacifist Pacifist Peaceful Pacifist Peaceful Peaceful Peaceful Spanish Empire"
In other thoughts the AI is much much better than before. around 1000BC I realized that I was at the top and increased the difficulty from Monarch to Immortal. I'm still on top but I'm really fighting for it (instead of crushing the AI like usual). I looked in the worldbuilder and the AI seems to be doing a decent job of developing cities properly, they're only 1-2 levels below mine. In the tech race I suspect that the AI is doing some massive tech trading (tech brokering is disabled) to stay with/ahead of me. I don't usually trade techs as the AI screws the player. I just turned tech trading off, so we'll see what happens next!

well I have never seen that before.
Can you tell me what map is this ?
Thanks
Description (tooltip) of Barb wire is wrong. It says that research is increased but in fact it is decreased because of loss of a trade route.
Afforess using Rev 369, I built the Capital Administration but have the option to build the metropolitan administration(?) in my capital still. I thought the metropolitan upgraded into the capital Administration?
One more thing which I'm just curious about, I research Optics and my Caravels can sail around the world but my galleys and trimeres have to wait until astronomy?
Seems as I'm not the only one identifying Barbarian issues in 1.75. IMHO, the barbarians are over-spawning, especially the ship-based ones. And I'm not the only one noticing...
