If you're going to question the Dutch being in Africa and all these other historical inaccuracies. Why not question that you can basically live forever and the world ends when you take everyone else's capitals?
PLEASE BUILD SHRINES!! See your faith points at the top? They're the new (religious) currency alongside gold and culture. You're well behind because other civs have been working on this, but if you build shrines in all your cities now you can quickly generate a ton of faith points which you can use to found your own religion (which you design). This will give you perks and allow you to send out missionaries to convert other civ's cities to your awesome new religion!
I might've said it before, but have you thought about razing Kathmandu to the ground and making a new city that will function as a canal to travel between the Mediterranean and the Red Sea?
And of all the bad things about the Earth map, the British Isles take the cake. They're now some kind of deformed appendage of the European continent.
@UtterlyImpeccable, well of course, everything is a geographical abomination in this game. They can't help it. I mean, look at Japan. Its like a retarded smiley face.
