I think I killed 1 of their units before mine were massacred by trebuches, then stepped on by the hordes of pikemen.

I'm sorry Phil, I'm just going all Neuromancer cynical after seeing my latest round of friendship devolve into "just you and your eternal team-mate, alone in a hostile world of immortal sociopaths". I perfectly understand most of the reasons why it happened (that's what happens when we DOWed Rome 4 times and America 2 times, and spammed wonders that they coveted), but it doesn't change the fact that I am score leader and therefore a (warmongering) threat to the civilized world because winning the game yo.

Yea, diety civs all declare war on you if you are the point leader. Don't become one. If you are becoming one, focus elsewhere untill other civs get ahead :b.
If you guys want me to post screenshots of being killed that early say so

Not if you are the leader in turn 1. You know, when you start with almost nothing, and the AI start with 5x more than you.

Whats rare for me is Iron, and whats worse is every time I try to play Rome, I can't find any iron!!! With their UU in the same era, I can get out of that era well before I find a decent supply of iron to use ballista and legion.
I don't know why they would make Rome have two iron-based UU in the same era, while civs like egyptian chariots or siam can have elephants without needing "horses" as a supply. Least make ballista or legion not require iron (preferably legionnaire).

In Gods & Kings ballistae (as catapult replacements) have no iron requirement.
But no, Rome doesn't seem to have a start bias that favours tiles with a good probability of having iron - though I've only played Rome a couple of times, I've had little or no iron in those games.

Me too, it's weird. Maybe they are going by Rome being soo expansive. They did the majority of their expanding in the era of legionnaires, but they did do quite a bit before them. It's just a guess. Personally I can't seem to make my self create a bunch of cities! I am a small nation at heart
