Advanced start, good idea or bad idea?

[deephouse7]

I'm not really a fan of the super early game, like the first 20 turns. So I remembered there's the advanced start feature where I can just lay out a few things and speed the process along a little bit. Is this going to hurt me, though? Will the game be either too easy or too hard because of this? Does the AI get to lay down a lot more objects or conversely does the AI not get to use advanced start at all and thus making me stupidly OP?

Just try it and see for yourself.

Never played an advanced start. When playing later era starts, AI is completely not able to adapt. No idea of it's the same with advanced starts. I love the first 100T, they are the turns where the game gets bad, good or brilliant.
