That was my point. I agree that different maps increase complexity.

That ship one is sick.  

Ugh, plz add to base game.  

Great, this would be a huge help. A ridiculously long list of civilizations arranged alphabetically would be terrible.

How do I capture buildings? The AI always does it, and I remember my troops used to do that instead of hitting a building with their swords, etc. I'm having an easier time beating the AI now that it's clear that the benchmark for Medium is to have an always increasing population (and batch produce). I'm sure it happens: I'd like to see a sample chart from a player that outcompetes Medium AI on economy early game.
