Why even bother with random civs on small/tiny maps?
Gripe of the day:
I think the whole "global" culture thing is a tad overdone, especially when you play on smaller sized maps (like I do). When I select two "RANDOM" opponents for my tiny maps, I *expect* them to be random. In reality, they're anything BUT.
If I play the Chinese on a 3-player Tiny map, I'm always pitted "randomly" against India and Japan. What's worse is that my games always seem to pan out the same (early contact w/ India).
I know I can pick my opponents, but half the fun of playing 4X games is discovering who you're playing against.
I also know I can turn off the global culture by disabling the Civ3 abilities...But I don't want to sacrifice the uniqueness of my civ just to get a batch of random enemies that would ALL be the SAME!!!
I've even tried eliminating the global culture flag from all civs, but this just causes game errors...

So much for randomness...
