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?
I usually have a hard time winning on Noble too, but the level below feels
too easy. But neither do I have any ambition to "graduate" to play on
Prince
or Monarch; I'm not a mountain-climber.
Of course, not only did I have a good starting location and my only
close
neighbour eliminated at an early stage thanks to the barbs, but all the
other civilizations were so busy fighting each other that they had no time
to bother about me, apart from Hammurabi's rather piffling invasion
attempt.
And none of them was a religious nut, except for Isabella, who shared my
religon, besides turning up late in the game when Hannibal vassalized the
island continent.
The settings were "Fractal", and actually, the map I got was one of
those
long strung out continents that often are the result, though in this case,
the continent had been broken up into a string of continents with water
inbetween; from east to west, the string was: my home continent, the
little
island continent that Hannibal settled, the continent Hannibal shared with
Montezuma and the huge continent where everyone else lived - this final
continent stretched down vertically. Well, so did mine, but only to the
point where the sound between it and the island continent began, as did
Hannibal/Montezuma's continent, whereas the huge continent stretched from
as
far north as mine and then very far south.
Incidentally, late in the game, Augustus and Asoka founded a city each
in
the far north of my continent, but as I jacked up the culture rate (and
also
introduced Sid's Su**** and Civilized Jewelers in my nearest two cities),
their territory began to shrink. They would without a doubt have
culture-flipped to me a little later, but I won the game before that had
happened.
I had all the resources you mention, but the stone was northwest of
Kyoto,
so I didn't get access to it until rather late.
BtS always turns up a new map for each new game. I think Augustus is
pretty good to play as; his characteristics mean that his borders expand
fast, and he has a magnificent early special unit (the praetorian) and a
magnificent early money-making special building (the forum).
