Archipelago map

[stealth_nsk]

I tried to cheat a bit and win Deity for achievement comfortably, using Archipelago map, because I heard AI is not great at handling it. And... "not great" clearly looked as understatement. Usually on Deity AIs quickly become hating you, preparing and starting wars. But it looks like in Antiquity not sharing the same landmass means you're not a threat for AI, because I finished antiquity being in alliance with all other old world civilizations simultaneously! On deity! Let's see how exploration goes, AI usually is more eager to go into naval wars there.

P.S. Augustus, Carthage, Standard size, Standard speed.

I played my first Archipelago map yesterday and enjoyed what was generated, I was on the same landmass as Augustus but a single tile mountain blocked contact without sailing!
