I've been disappointed with 7 seas in my 2 attempts. I have yet to play a full post patch game, I haven't been into Civ like I used to. I did start another game yesterday. Again with Victoria, this time on small continents, now this map I like so far. 7 seas was too difficult to navigate, so isn't good for civs like England. I was on a huge map, maybe standard would have been better? I really thought I would like it, but so far I don't.
