But without early access to explorers and conquistadors (which is historically accurate, at any rate), I'm not going to get very far, at least initially. For example, as Japan I start the game with most of the world covered up in fog, but I do know of Korea, Manchuria, and China. What's interesting about all these countries is that there is only a limited geographic area that you know about initially, so you get to know that region really well. I started campaigns as Japan, China, the Ashantis in Africa, the Incas in South America, and more. However, starting games as a whole bunch of different nations around the world isn't really a bad way to go when writing a preview and is probably what I would've done anyway, since it gave me a chance to see what all these new non-European nations play like. Fortunately, I was eventually sent a fix for this problem, and just recently I've been able to play complete campaign games. So for about the first week, most of the games I played tended to cover the first fifty years or so of one nation's development, and then when I had to do something else and turned it off, I had to start over with a new country and a whole new game. For starters, I couldn't even save my game, and as you might guess, that can be kind of a problem when you're playing an open-ended strategy game that can take a dozen hours to finish a single campaign.
