I did 2 games with this version. Here my reports.
1st, Random Civ on communitas map in Deity. Denmark. WOOO first time trying them they were never appealing to me and i feel them a little underpowered. ANyway random is random lets play !
Finally denmark isnt at all underpowered, free pillage (and gold from city attack) make me really rich in early war (i always struggle in economy when i build units usually but there even if i had a negativ GPT, i had a big treasury !) and the unique building (lighthouse replacement) is not limitated to coastal city and is awesome ! Fun game even if my first ancient war against Marocco, the IA didnt do great job in managing his units due to bad terrain.... But my second war (end of classical/start of medieval) against Netherlands was really awesome. The IA did great job in managing his units. a lot of hills mountains and narrow passages so it was hard to advance for me and could never catch the injured dutch units.... so a really long war ! Great job with the IA !
First time i play with events fun, i like bad or good one but often i got the same event multiple times in a row maybe a little boring
2nd Game, same configuration, this time i got Portugal.
First bug found :
horde near the neighbouring city state. Positionning my military units on the border to wait for filthy barbarians... A barbarian spawns litterally on my archer, moving my archer one tile away and killing the great general who was under my archer (and him was not pushed away !) had to reload with new random seeds cuz it was a little furstating to lose a general like this !
In summary i go for scientific victory (germany + Siam + Autria in the same game, so i dont want to go for diplomatic ^^) now im in modern Era and start trading tech with other IA.
Siam offered me 2 coals and some flat gold for a tech... he is 5 tech behind so i dont care to sell him one tech, i need coal so the deal is appealing but.... i can trade this same tech for 3 of his main cities ! (giving me access to 5 coal by this way). I tried and Siam accepted... sorry but its really disappointing and killing all the fun of the game .... Really 3 rich wealthy and big cities for 1 tech ? are u kidding me. Well I should purpose that deal, but really IA undervalued the "price" of cities ! Siam was 3rd in scoreboard and me 7th. Now after the deal im 3rd and he is 7th .... he offered me one city with 35 pop, 28 pop and 24 pop when u know at this moment the biggest city of the wolrd is 38 pop....
IA really struggles to estimates the right price of a city... for Siam, his little city newly founded on 1 tile tiny island is near the same value of is 2nd founded city with 35 pop (and was his biggest city ahead his capital ! )
Sorry for the long post, i wanted to share both my experience and the little "bugs" i found (not only to bug report) ! and sorry for my english !
