I still can't decide if I like it or not.

The big maps help, but even on a huge map it still plops down 9 other civilizations. In the little corner of the world I've uncovered, I can account for 6 of them. So, somewhere in the vast blackness of the world (and it's huge) there are only 3 other AI players with all that land. Meanwhile, I'm bumping heads with Isabella and fending off Ghandi every other turn.

And the barbarians.. I kept getting my ass handed to me by roaming barbarians. In one 'turn' they showed up around three of my cities. Over the next 3 turns, they took them all. Just for fun, I went back and re-loaded my saved game and fired up the world builder. I slapped a couple of swordsmen an elephant around one city, an elephant and a couple of crossbow men around another, confident that these units would be able to defeat the lowly warrior barbarians.

I again, lost all three cities.

I have no idea how to beat these fuckers even cheating doesn't seem to help.
