i do not know if this question should go in this thread or not... But...
i have been attempting to create a scenario with cities placed and culture for the civs set above the start point of zero. i would also like the civ cities to have some basic improvements. Is there an easier way to go about setting city improvements and culture without having to go through every city in the world builder? Any way to just "cut and paste?"

You can start the base game at a different era, that gives various buildings for free, I think? Not really sure how it works exactly though.
