Unfortunately, the early game now seems to be just about gold farming. Without gold, there are almost no other options, especially not for the AI. So for the first hour the Civs just farm and farm. This can be so tedious and goes over such a long time, that it could seriously hurt MP...
There also is no diplomacy. Without gold, people just have to farm for an hour to get the basic things going until finally BNW begins to shine. I really like how the late game now works, the tedium there seems to be gone, great! But now there is early game tedium, because it takes much too long to get enough gold to get the ball rolling, especially for the AI.Multiplayer with diplomacy what more do you want?
