Some questions/comments:
AI seems much less clueless on latest version - congrats. I've still never been attacked past, say, Assembly Line (I'm a builder), while they beat each other to death.
What's with random nuclear fallout in 1400 AD? (no one had built Manhattan, I hadn't researched Fission) Not a fun feature. Also, unbeatable pirate fleets with Carracks in 800BC, Indiamen in 400BC. (Marathon)
For some reason, CivIV has always thought State Property was the best thing since sliced bread (Is the Civ franchise state property? Thank goodness its not), but the latest uberization in 2.2 is ridiculous. All AI's choose it. I'm too attached to Sushi, or I'd have no real reason not to choose it. Makes corps nearly irrelevant. Balance please.
On Rise 1, I completed a full Huge/Marathon game with no CTD's. Completed the Huge Earth Map with Rise 2. Actually never had a CTD until installing the Rev stuff. Since then three CTD's similar to those described here, including one after reinstalling without the Rev. So far 2.2 with a standard map is going fine, so we'll see.
Bakery/Tannery - love it! But a Bakery should require eggs. Chicken resource?
