Thank you.
Not sure why Persia never seems to get any love, I always have a great game when I play as them, the UU is awesome IMHO.
He got Indonesia (which has always been top 5) as a B. He got Byzantium as a B despite the fact that the only thing that has changed about them is their once worthless UU is now another worthless UU. I wouldn't put that much stock into his rating, they usually only serve as another place to cry about how overpowered the things he doesn't like are.Not sure why Persia never seems to get any love, I always have a great game when I play as them, the UU is awesome IMHO.
Yes you did. I completely missed that. Must be the difference in formatting of the two lists. Good to know Darius is getting some love.But I rated them at the top of my S tiers...no love indeed.

Arabia skyrocketed in the charts. The tradition buffs gave them the most tools to become the ultimate runaway tourism civ (though event tourism was nerfed, he still gets a lot of them. I just came out of a game where I was influential to all civs at around turn 180 and I had to WAIT for the victory condition to become available on turn 221). With the right tools, he's over the top insane (granted, it was a dream start with like 6+ spirit of the desert tiles and I got flood plains incense allowing me to grab pretty early religion). I think it's because they get the possible great spirit of the desert starts that edge them over at this moment.
Actually think this is selling them short. Event tourism is still over-all up compared to the pre-buff levels and often forgot is how much the buff to trade-route tourism actually helped him, as the bazaar unlocks trade-route tourism earlier as well as making it stronger (also makes it easier to hit those guys on the other side of the pangaea).
Brazil enjoyed the buffs. But unfortunately, I still don't like how pedro struggles inside his jungles early on. It's just really hard for him to improve his resources early (since remove jungle tech is at iron working), this generally works against pedro the most, just like the mayans.
problem with Ai Arabia is, that they never go Tradition. I had Rashid in game maybe every 2nd game, always he goes for authority and is bottom civ. but thats offtopic.
I've thought about this a lot, is there any reason remove jungle needs to be that deep considering some civs have a jungle bias? Marshes are even worse, it's not as much of an issue because I don't think there's a marsh bias for any civ and marshes don't appear that often, but if your starting luxuries are sugar on marshes you're taking a detriment in possible trading and happiness for a very long time and take even longer to get a monopoly on it.
Apparently the policies taken by the AI are random. I've seen Tradition Arabia once or twice, and they do really well. The AI also doesn't seem to factor policies into its goals either, an aggressive civ will be just as likely to DOW everyone with progress as with authority and a more peaceful civ who goes authority will pretty much always fall behind.
I know it's totally subjective, but how can anyone rate India and Brazil in 2nd best tier and Greece in worst. Any justification for Brazil being actually good? They have worst UU in the game, they will usually have like 7-8 tiles for their UI (on standard) and UA kicks in very late.
