Yes, indeed, the position of China is of extreme power because of simultaneous presence of hammers and food within the very same cities plus happiness and health resources which are abundant. In case of most of the other terrain locations, only one of these is present, so actually either growing or producing is quite tough at times.

I totally agree. India for example has very nice opportunities for growth but very few hammers. Which is why we're seeing you use the whimp a lot, I think.

It depends since while actually India itself has relatively large amount of food and happiness, the Pakistan-Afghanistan area is low on food while having a lot of hammers there which basically makes it barely usable up until Biology. So, I'm struggling with a part of the country growing but not producing anything whereas another part is producing but not growing. In China and Cambodia, this is not happening since most of the cities are able to grow and both to produce, so slavery can be used in combination with relatively high production. I'm not talking about Japan which is basically stuffed with resources on every tile.

I'm not mentioning collapse of the Mongolian Empire which happened within a few turns as soon as the AI took control and before that KC did not manage to do much harm.

So, all this together with very solid and creative gameplay

of BCLG make China quite a formidable adversary. I'd say I'm lucky to stay alive and intact so far.

I would add europe and south america to the areas where lack of production is a problem. If we were ever to play RTW3 (and i don't see why not for some reason the earth map produces interesting games) maybe a couple of extra production resources in those areas would balance it out, Japan could use some pruning too.

The original Rhye's map imo was a bit better, the complete overabundancy of resources made up for the lack of production.

Oh crap, I forgot to tell you. My computer sort of crashed. Not in the sense that it usually did, but a rare case of which I'm sure it'll hardly ever happen again. Nevertheless...does anyone have an autosave he could send me?

It doesn't work!

I've got a save from my turn (1290 AD). I'll email it to you right now.

Well, I guess BCLG will have an option of playing the turn three times or so it seems. A small consolation but still better than nothing.

Don't you mean two times?
