A Changed Game - 1330 AD to 1345 AD

There has been a new Patch for Civilization 5. Things have changed and will affect this campaign.
Here I am buying a hex with the Tobacco resource for 480 Gold. In fact there are two more Tobacco hexes in the vicinity - the reason for deciding to build two cities, (a third is planned in Florida), in North America instead of South America.

A worker is sent to build a Plantation on the Tobacco hex.

The third Settler's route is plotted.

1335 AD: The Worker starts building the Plantation.

1340 AD: The Tobacco resource has disappeared!!

This one of the many changes which have altered the game - I spent 1000's of Gold purchasing units in North America for a colony which is of no use to me. In South America, today's Brazil, the investment would have been much more profitable.

I'm making this the last post because of the Patch update which I couldn't prevent happening unlike a Mod update. I have more than twice the number of VP's than my nearest opponent so there is no doubt who is winning this campaign.

I will start a new game so I'll keep you posted. Thanks to all who have been following this narrative. Until soon :)
