Thanks, Civ5 random world generator, for putting a set of ancient ruins in space surrounded by 5 mountains and an unpassable natural wonder....

Regarding the Scouts - I'm guessing there's a "+1 Observation Range" upgrade they can get. I'd hazard to further guess it means they're vets at observation and perform better recon without being spotted...? Who knows. I usually choose the HP/healing upgrades for them anyway.

Another thing that always pissed me off about the AI is them offering a trade, which I accept, and then they say "that's not nearly enough of a fair deal" or some other rejection message. You're the idiot that came to me to offer a trade, bub...what the hell.

There's something kind of fun about having a Portuguese Nau pull up to the Chinese port of Macau to use its one-time ability to "sell exotic goods" for the gold/xp bonus

Nice.  I'm guessing this is an ability unique to the Portuguese (and perhaps to the Nau specifically)?

I don't normally like playing Spain b/c Phillip looks like a smug prick, but I was trying to understand their specs better b/c I'm playing him in a multiplayer game

The AI sucks. I think it's actually gotten worse over each iteration, and that's a helluva accomplishment considering how many of these they've done. Not to mention the offshoots (e.g. both Colonization games, which to me are still primitive in the AI department but far more challenging).

Agree 1000%! Before any other changes, fix this!
