So hopefully this will come of more constructive then just rant. Also i hope im not redundant with this.

1 minor problem thus far has been starting positions of Sovereigns. When i have started a map under Large size. I am literally enveloped by other starting Sovereigns. I had 4 start almost right next to me making it impossible to move. I had never had that happen beforehand. (last i played was was 1.09 patch until recently). So i thought well.. what if i start a large map. Sure enough i had one quite close to me. Also the game has started to crash  on me.. but i neglected to look at the report and see what the hell it was...  =/.

On the plus side i enjoy the AI doesnt have acute down syndrome anymore. (<--- this is better then it sounds). So i cant just plough through the game on the highest difficulty anymore. Plus creatures are more aggresive so i cant just leave 1 peasant to guard and go on my merry way anymore.
