Figured I should offer my thoughts on arabia, I really like them. I didn't think the extra oil would be so useful but I noticed I had a much bigger air force than I usually do because I had like 30-40 oil. The Bazaar was as good as advertised, but sadly I didn't get much run from the camel archers because by the time I had a few and was in a situation to use them, it was time to upgrade them to cavalry. I even held off for a bit on that but eventually I had to, but I can definitely see why they would be so OP. The ability to just hit and run is so strong, especially since it lets you out-range cities. The land trade routes thing was okay at first but I almost always eventually switch to all-sea trade routes, and this game was no exception. But it was still useful very early in helping us keep a positive income.

BTW, a funny thing about the map, so my wife picked it and kept it secret till the end as I said she would, and I explaiend to her that a lot of the maps in this pack were based on real-life landmasses so I didn't want to know right off the bat. Well, as I kept playing, she kept needling me "You mean you haven't guessed it yet??" and come to find out

She picked continents plus. A RANDOMLY GENERATED map type. So NO, WIFE, I DIDN'T GUESS IT BECAUSE IT'S NOT REAL (which she didn't know, she assumed they were all real). We had a good laugh at that.
