i downloaded the ice age mode from somewhere on this website (the one were u start like 18000yrs bce), and played it 3 times already. normally, i play on prince, but i played it on noble all three times, and even though, i get terrain with rediculous amount of resourses, i am always the last on the score chart and everyone seems to be way ahead of me on tech - with top civs having a 10 tech lead! granted most of them are bullfeathers techs, ie fishing, but still. i am not awesome in this game, but i always thought of myself being able to hold my own. when i try to trade for techs, ai treats me like bastard child (i know there were some threads about it already) but i never expect to be that far behind. i try being a researcher, builder and warmonger - nothing seems to work. has anyone else tried that scenario yet?
