We're talking game play here, not the ascent of man

From what I read in the forums here, the pacing is actually pretty fast, so I don´t believe it will be a CtP-like boring start.
If they had made a real editor and not cut down Espionage to Bonsai size, not to speak about leaving out the scenarios altogether, I would be in the (moderate) optimist camp...

You won't have civil disorder in your cities for a while [even if you don't have the tech to build temples or colosseums] if you use that worker to build a road from your cities to a luxury resource. I think the starting position you get is designed to be sure you have access to at least one luxury resource.
And don't let your cities grow beyond Size 4 when you can't build temples. Just keep chugging out settlers and workers. If you aren't expanding, you can bet that the AI is. And you have to connect everything with roads. Absolutely everything. So if you build the workers, tasks will come.
You certainly can get settlers from goody huts, especially if you're playing an Expansionist civ. No one took me seriously when I said that the "better stuff from goody huts" ability was powerful -- well here's one of your reasons why.
It needs to be stressed that you can't apply the same exact techniques that you used in Civ II to Civ III if you expect to stay in the game competitively. Civil Disorder early in the game is a clear sign you're not spending enough time on building infrastructure and trade.

Well game testing indicates that the old civ 2 tricks like not settling and building an army of units and settlers from huts before doing so doesn't work.
