My only complaint are the turn times.

This has made me end up giving up and going to a smaller map most times, or playing with fewer AI and no Barbarian Civilizations for a new world type map.

On one game I have running, turns can take anywhere from 30 seconds to a minute with only 6 other nations, two of which originated as Barbarians and have taken over the "New world" that was supposed to be empty.

I could probably steamroll everyone else off the continent, as I have modern infantry and first tier nukes, but I'm finding it more fun to simply research further. Other people are still figuring out Electricity... I can turn deer into tanks.

Have you turned down the difficulty? Having a few easy games to mess around and see how the different game mechanics work can really help you learn.

My favorite memory of this game is nuking the second continent so much that I elected myself ruler of the planet at the UN.

  Stay out of continent 1 politics you filthy hippies.

I still play this a lot (with BTS expansion but without mods except BUG because they tend to make the game run too slowly on my antique laptop.)

I like the game a lot, but I think there is too big a gap between the difficulty settings. I can win fairly comfortably on Emperor, but if I try Immortal I get my ass kicked very quickly.

Just decided to fire up Beyond the Sword with the Rhye's and Fall of Civilization RAND mod.  In the spirit of things, I set everything to random and wound up getting America.  Curious, is there a way to access a long form of those messages you get?  I was trying to build a minor power block, then suddenly everything is on fire and apparently the first world war started.  I kinda want to know what started the whole thing and if there are more on my side than just me, Ethiopia, Portugal, and the Netherlands.
