Exceptional Starting Positions

[dunnm]

Over the years the Civ II community here must have generated millions of starts. Has anybody kept saves from exceptionally advantageous starting positions e.g. good position / grassland start & 5,6 or 7 starting techs ( can you get more than 7 ? ), Monarchy and or Trade starting techs ?
If so could you please post a save here with the game settings ? My preference is Deity, large map, 7 civs, restarts on, raging hordes ( non purple civ ) but any setting would be appreciated. I remember having fun with a number of such starts posted on Poly by the SGs some years ago unfortunately I can't find the thread now.

Thank You in advance

Some of the GOTMs had nice starts, and they posted a pic of the visible tiles as well. If you check the Results page and see several people playing OCC (red highlights) you can bet there's some decent land nearby. Unfortunately there is often a tradeoff between the better land areas and a lower number of starting techs. If you are interested in comparing your games over several starts it is probably best to start with no freebie techs, as the Early Landing Comparison Games did over at Poly.
