Simple. Just play Contenental. I bronzed at 12:42 with Macedonia just a few minutes ago even though I kept forgetting to build houses because I haven't gotten used to the gueing feature. I bought RoR yesterday so while this may be old news to many of you I am quite suprised. For some reason I thought bronze times were going to drop slightly with RoR, but there are so many shore fish in the contenental map that even with less effecient shore fishing, bronze times may drop.
Now I must confess that I've only played 3 games with one being Hill Country/Palmyra (I sucked in that game) and all have been against the AI. But I never bronzed in 12:42 with my beloved Hittites even on the best coastal map.
Any comments?
