) you come a running and boom....your in...like someother things in life

I'm sorry, but if you let me start with alphabet and pottery I will have explorers by 3200BC and I will win the game. Simple as that.

Look, could you just go away? The adults are talking here and you have more than one sand pit threads to spill your bile in

i agree with the restart...... giving techs to anyone who knows how to play is like handing them HG or whatever other wonder/location/techs they want....

why bother playing... i could see playing one with one tech provided the host had ****e land and couldn't find any huts....but as slowwwhand pointed out earlier the game does try its best to even up....though that doesn't always come through in the way "humans" deem Even!!

That's the point isn't it? The game only gives techs if you get a get a bad starting position from what I have seen.

Excuse me... the AI has NO CLUE what is or isn't a good starting position...

And War and Eye's are right... an advantage like that in the hands of a good player... game over...

Its not perfect and I'm not defending starting techs - I prefer restarts if time permits. But I have noticed that you only seem to get starting techs if your start point includes no land that generates trade. The more barren trade wise your land is, the more techs you get. I've had up to 4 - we've never played with the host having more than 1 tech.

I do too, but some techs won't trip a demo change.

But since I usually host......I let others check me

In our game saturday nite, you had ceremonial burial and bronze working and I still showed up as 1st in literacy.

Not that I was checking
