Yeah, I'm trying out EA C'tis for the first time ever. They're a fun nation, but the absolute best part is that I'm playing on the world map from
http://www.illwinter.com/dom2/maps.html. Taking over South America while Ulm devours Asia and Helheim sits in Africa (I've decided that Eyes of God is a great global). It all feels very fun, and I've moved up to conquer Texas and Colorado while Ulm is pouring down over the land bridge at me. Highly recommended map.
