Marathon with a turn limit of 200? I don't have time to load it up, but I am curious what age this starts in. I'll try to check it out tonight. Seems like you'd have to aim for victory fairly fast.
I feel like they are going to become a standard part of Civ going forward. Its a good way to build engagement, as companies are want nowadays, and keep people interested in the game during lull periods.

Finally an interesting start variation. Renaissance starts are my favourite, Marathon less so. Corporations also great, can really boost later start culture victories. It will be either that or Score victory.
I wonder how one picks the civilization, as this was simple before. Will there be FOUR rolling screens in start menu now??
Custom map, I am kind of hoping to be an actual Americas map.
Yeah, and I think they'll probably be a part of the game's marketing strategy going forward. Like, during the NFP pass they could have run a series of challenges for all of the new civs and mechanics, maybe even making them available without the DLC like they did before, to show off the new stuff to people unsure if they actually want to buy the DLC.
I did the one as Joao. It was a bit hectic at first but once I got going it was easy peasy. You all start on one continent with few resources, the CS and more resources are on another continent. I didn't know that at the time. My first move was to eliminate England because she was near the source of Niter. Nobody really settled on the other continents but me. Harald did eventually, but much later. I got a science win.
I will try Hungary next. If it's about having few resources and surrounded by the AI, I'll wager there's going to be no horses around me or something. It'll be fine!
Is this one really 200 turns? It doesn't seem like enough time for a marathon game. I'm on turn 165 and I don't think it's going to happen. I put too much priority into settling and exploring the new continent. Can't finish it tonight, need to sleep and stuff.

Its a regular map script that's designed to mimic the old world/new world dynamic with all of the regular civs starting on one continent and a second continent filled with city-states.
So far, I find it kind of weird. The choice of Corvinus is a little weird since all of the city-states aren't on your continent so levying them is going to a be a little underwhelming. I levied two to conquer another that I wasn't interested in but, other than that, haven't really had a need to use city-state armies since. Levying armies is also a really inefficient way to get envoys as well if you are going diplo victory. Would love to play as Joao but I'm already dominating* with Corvinus as is so Prince would be even more of a cake walk. It feels like the AI doesn't realize the need to colonize the other continent so they've settled the main continent while only Norway has settled any cities on the second continent but in subpar locations and I've pretty much taken every good located left. The AI could settle in a few places but they'd probably lose any city they'd settle to loyalty pressure given how much I've dominated the second continent.
I've got the Forbidden Palace, Oxford, and Big Ben without even trying and not even making a real effort to get them.
Yes, I was just coming to say that, I'm playing Hungary now and it's the exact same starting position and AI as there is with Portugal. Hungary's whole thing is levying CS and there really isn't much point in levying their troops because they're on a different continent. I'm steamrolling the AI right now. I pretty much did the same thing as when I started Portugal. I declared on England to steal settlers and to prevent them from getting the Iron and Niter nearby. Then I sort of just didn't stop attacking. I'm not levying CS troops because there's no reason to sail them all the way over to the mainland. The AI aren't settling outside of the continent on Emperor either.
I feel like another civ would have been more interesting but I'm sure which would be a good choice. At first, I thought about doing a conquest game since already know where everyone is but then you have a resource deficiency, especially luxuries, so that would be more challenging. I feel like Elizabeth would have been a good leader to go with over Corvinus generally.

Just a very strange choice, as he's not only a leader whose bonuses have interaction with the special map, but they arguably clash with it. Also doesn't suit the theme historically. Weird
Maybe that was the idea? Sort of shooting yourself in the foot for the higher difficulty? I'm not sure, but I would have preferred a Civ where there were more interesting advantages and obstacles in settling the new world.
Well I'm now in turn 201, so strange they say it's 200 turns. Good things too since religious victory is taking a while. Which is strange doing a religious victory with Mathias, but so be it. I may do a backup plan for cultural mainly just to prevent the AI from getting it.
As for the new continent, my AI players are settling it like crazy now. And I can't crank out settlers fast enough. Mostly England, but Cree has 1 city there.
