i-am-having-an-emotion:

y’all this is the weirdest game of civ i have ever played, im 1000 AD, 166 turns in, and i’ve met 0 other players. it’s a board of 12. 2 civs have already lost their capitals. the only way to leave my island is to cross open ocean.

update: the year is 1370 AD. 197 turns in. i have found a single six-square island two turns’ sail by caravel away from me. everything else is cold, unforgiving ocean, for a full two turns sail around my island.
