Thanks you for the detailed feedback!
As I said in earlier posts, I do need such observations and tests (playings).

1) It seemed like there were a number of barbarian towns on jungle squares. This was a real hassle since my units couldn't attack it because they can't enter jungle squares.
I don not see it as THAT big a trouble, those barbs can't bother you either, can they?
Or you want to get away them as soon as possible? Oh, my... then take Zulu, Joruba, or the Ameicans, they have UU that walks through jungle... should I give Asian civ UUs also "walk through jungle"... Hm, it does sound a fine idea,
to be tried for next version...

2) I think it might be better if you put another civ in the americas. Only 3 civs for those 2 contintents doesn't seem very fair. By the time I had the tech to visit them, the Mayans had token over all of South America and over half of North America making them very powerful.
I think it is OK with them being 3 civs over there in the Americas. It is MEANT to be so that they are only three - in this way they fell behind a bit in tech compared to the world... and only one of them arises as big in the modern times with the Statue of Liberty. And if you are quick, you CAN get 1 or 2 colonies in South-America. If not, just get there with some military force and colonize like Cortez did...

3) Perhaps you could make some civs be able to clear jungles earlier than others. India for example has a whole lot of jungles and aren't able to clear them until electricity, which is pretty late in the game.
It sounds a good idea, only then game balance will be an issue - India and China might get too powerful, don't you think? In my last tests China got to be the big boy in modern times...

4) I think the fortify sound for musketmen is wrong. It sounded like a dieing sound instead of a fortify sound.
Hm, this is something that is inherited from Rhye's... - ask him about it...

5) In my game I found it very hard to get a leader. I was in a constant war with the Babylonians and the Ethiopians for probably around 75-100 turns and I had less than a handful of elite troops and no leader at all.
Umm, again, I did not yhange a bit concerning this topic - so we both better ask Rhye about this!
