Just finished my first 1.2.5 game...

My they really cut down on the number of ruins in modern.

On large map, it used to be 2 exploration dig sites and then 4 all ages dig sites per continent after hegemony (6 continents). It now is 1 exploration and 2 all ages dig sites, so cut by half...

I Managed to grab 12 relics (digging all the natural wonders) before I won economic victory, but I really wonder if they nerfed this too much. Going to be hard to get 15 relics this way.

I just finished a game today and it was still 2 then 4 per continent. I was on a standard size continents and islands map.

ok so they nerfed large and huge because there are 6 continents instead of 4 then... makes sense they had too many but still... this seems too large a nerf... I would have gone 1 then 3

Seems something is wrong. Why would large and huge have less than standard? I'm betting bug rather than nerf.

because there are 6 continents instead of 4... which honestly added up to too many relics available...culture victory was the easiest on those maps. I got some at 49 turns, and I play long ages and am not a min/maxer... my victories are usually more around turns 65/75 (I play immortal)

from patch notes:

• Cultural Victory
  • Decreased Explorer Movement from 3 to 2.
    • Dev Note: We don’t like to reduce movement of Units because it can artificially extend games. However, our changes to other Victories slowed things down enough that Culture Victories were being achieved too quickly with just a few Explorers. Now, if players want to rush this Victory, they have to invest in more Explorer Units.
  • Reduced the number of overall Artifacts available in Modern on Large/Huge maps, and also increased the number of overbuild sites for all map sizes to better pace the Cultural Victory.
