Starting a game in a different age

[tentaal]

Hello,

I found in a text that explain a way to caculate how many gold we have to give to each user when starting a game in a different age. I cannot found this text anymore.
Do you know how to determine the amount of gold to give to each users at the beginning of the game?

Thanks!

6. One of the options for Multiplayer games allows the Host to select the starting technological Age for the game (Ancient, Renaissance, Modern, Genetic, or Diamond). When starting in any Age other than Ancient, you will notice that your cities begin with a number of "pre-built" improvements. While the improvements themselves are free, the upkeep is not. Therefore, it is best to start with a sufficient amount of gold to keep the game playable until you can build up enough population to support the improvements, particularly because these improvements that you get for free cannot be sold. This tends to be around 1,000 gold per settler multiplied by the Age number. For example, with 4 settlers in the Modern Age, 1,000 gold x 4 settlers = 4,000. 4,000 x 3rd Age = 12,000 starting gold.

7. If you start a game in the later ages, research will take a longer time to complete due to the negative income that occurs until you are able to balance out your city. Research is dependent on revenue generated by your cities, not by the gold allotted to each player at the beginning. For this reason, it is imperative to change to a more revenue oriented form of government as soon as possible when playing this type of game.

8. We recommend that you use no more than 4 settlers if you start in the Genetic or Diamond age due to the negative revenue that you will initially have upon starting the game. You can always build more settlers once you have your finances under control, but having a large amount of cities may quickly deplete your initial allotment of gold. This will negatively affect both your research for new advances and your ability to maintain improvements.
