i have seen a few people moaning now about epic games and time it takes at the start to build even the most basic things and i know what they mean so i thought i would make this thread 
i play on monach atm and i am fond of huge/archipeligo/high sea/temperate,i usuall play as England - Victoria (bah red coats need a buff
)
if i start with many trees i will often set my research to bronzeworking (24 turns) and in my city make a worker (23 turns) and just take those 23 turns on the chin as often you will only get about population 2 or 2.5 in that time
then i will chop like crazy and make a settler (2 if i have many trees) and then go for stonehenge, using up all my starting trees
At this point if i still have forests left i will try for the oracle and often i get it with a view to founding christianity with my free tech or using my first great person to found it
if i accomplish this i am happy with my start
If i start with few trees the first thing i make is a work boat (hopefully i got fish or what ever) and after that i will make warriors until i have population 3 at which point i will make a settler
while i do this i set my reseach towards hinduism (polytheism? ) as meditation which gives Buddism will almost always go
Once i have a settler i will make a worker and then again i will aim for stonehenge and if i get it im happy
The first turns of the game,say from start till 500 bc seem so very very important to me and can be the difference between you being a competator or a weakling by 1400ish and i think maybe my starts are inefficient but i cant see how to fix it
discuss and feel free to tell me better ways to play
