AI - CCTP and starting era

[Badyuyu]

Hey I have a quick question:

I saw in the main menue that CCTP is balanced for noemal game speed. Is there also a starting era that the game is balanced to?

I'm asking cause I started in pre-historic era (since I got overwhelmed by all the buildings and wanted to discover them one by one, so I could get to know them). Now I played about 100 turns and even before anybody left pre-historic era I started pulling massively ahead in terms of population. So far I am also the only civ that has actually expanded to more than one city. Now before you say "why is this guy bragging here": I'm not! I'm really not that good at Civ5. And usually King difficulty is just right for me so that I don't get left in the dust but also don't pull ahead by too much.

Which leads me to my question. Is the mod maybe intended to be started in classical era? Is the AI maybe not that good at handeling the pre-historic tech?

Thanks for your answers

best
Badyuyu

From my experiences Classical works best for the AI. They seem to colonize, build armies and found religions like normal. Later eras tend not to work as well due to the amount of buildings, but that doesn't really bother me. So I'd say Ancient or Classical are recommended? I'm not an expert so...
