(Tell me something about expandig AI

. I started new game after long time 1+ year and i am glad AI is expanding like hell. I love it

Yep you should get territory as fast as possible now or try to kill an AI asap to get more land available before the others take it.

Playing russia isnt easy now.
(1. europe is not connected throught land with little asia,)
??? Yep bosphorus strait is see as it is real, but you can get early ships to get over the bosphorus strait.
(2. summeria starting position is far away from real history, maybe just erase summeria or replace it with another more related civilization)
As said for the sceanrio: "
40 pre-set Civilizations in the scenario: (Mostly historic starting positions, some shifted a bit for better gameplay)" (To prevent to overgrowed regions with starting civs, also some landmasses are oversized a bit in wurope and some isslands to give the AI a fair start like england)
Also you can use now thief's or units like neanderthal warrior that can attack without declaring war to recon west europe or terrain already taken by the AI.
