PS - Something to do with starting era?
You start the game allied with the barbarians, you take a -10% hit to all of your research. The alliance will be broken if you get too far ahead (Scorewise) of the other players in the game.
You have no starting techs.
So, essentially, you are spared the wrath of the barbarian hordes, since your civilization, is only slightly more advanced than the barbarians.
