So this is the first time I've ever played this map type with this setting put in. I have to say this is completely different than anything I've ever seen. I normally play fractal or hemispheres or pangea. This map was a breath of fresh air although I'm only halfway through the game not sure what's going to happen. I will say that Marines will definitely be very useful on this map. And vice versa if the AI attacks my islands my mainland Force can't stop them. Looking forward to the finish. I rolled China, Qin Shi Huang. Not my favorite leader but great starting techs and I just finished a game with a protective leader and love Drill IV gunpowder units. I also honestly said I hope I get an industrious leader this next roll. So I guess I was lucky? My last two victories were Culture without gunning for it with Willy and Giggles. Not sure if Industrious makes it 3 in a row or not. Those were also my only two culture victories ever but I've developed a strategy for it if I don't want to grind a domination or space out.
Edit: I also figured out with Willy and Giggles that Creative trait is one of my favorites. Playing this one which is the first in my last four games without it just emphasizes that I love Creative trait. In the past I never would have chosen it because I didn't know how powerful it really was in the beginning.
