nice game. How can you win at noble level? I can't even come close.
Did you choose Islands for the map? Did you have iron, stone, horses,
marble, and copper all in your island?
I also had a question as far as bts. Does the game continuously
provide a different map at each game? Also, if you didn't have
Elizabeth, who would you choose?
