Currently playing a Large Terra map, 10 civs and 10 CSes, Emperor, Raging Barbs and Random Seed. First thing I eventually noticed is that home continent was way too cramped for a large map. Unexpected runaways ensued, well one of them was certainly unexpected... but then I began uncovering more of the other nearly empty landmass and wow it is huge
Since Raging was on, the number of barbs encountered there were enormous as well. Didn't really notice this on home continent much since things got filled up real quick
Almost everyone who survived (Inkans, Babylonians, Carthage, Iroquois and eventually Poly as well) settled the empty spaces found therein, mostly in the barb-infested interiors. Not much luxuries to be found along the coasts
Overall its been an interesting change of pace from prepatch GnK and Vanilla Terra, where the AIs hardly bother with colonizing the New World. Right now for instance, the Iroquois are getting overrun by Carthage...
But since they've settled 2 cities on New World (probably more and that seems to be their intent), they have a decent shot at making a comeback if they hold out long enough to get more colonies up and running
and why do I say that's their intent? Because Poly settled a city more than 10 tiles away from the most visible colony... and they didn't seem too keen on sharing
