Heh, I wonder if the CFC guys can mod the 'Fall of Rome' map, and have us all play as Rome.
AoD is the worst though. Poorly done alltogether. At LEAST give Europe a few more squares!
MesoAmerica was a great game. I played as the Mayans, and won via culture (both types!) with 4 turns left in the game thanks to all of the slaves I captured. Of course since the RNG decided it didn't like my spearthrowers, It was a little hard to play in the beginning.
