I am sure there is already a similar thread but I couldn't find it so here is the idea.

It would be great to collect a couple of initial saves for different civs for practicing purposes. So for example: I attached a start for Nebuchadnezzar - it's seriously great. Right next to a mountain and a river - plenty of silver plus an additional lux item and 2 stones. There are also great city locations in the south/ south-east. The only downside is that there are also a couple of powerful civs on the map (once you got rid of the british empire in the south). Another "downside" (depending on how you like to play) is that you are basically in the middle of the map and you will be involved in many many wars even if you initially tried to play it sort of peacefully... just not going to happen given your location and the quality of your lands. Another downside is the lack of iron and the fact that you will have to ally a hostile cs to get it (which makes it really expensive in the beginning). I think for people who just moved up to Emperor this might be a fun game though because it offers a lot of possible routes that you may take. I am currently trying to move up to immortal but that turns out to be not so easy (at least for me) and I would greatly appreciate initial autosaves that are not awful to practice a little - so this entire idea is basically based on pure self interest :)

Some facts:
Standard, Pangaea, Emperor
Mods: none used
DLC's: all that I am aware of (Inca, Poly, Babylon, Spain, Denmark and the map package - not sure whether the latter matters)

Would be great if some of you may add a couple of saves and the corresponding descriptions. Enjoy and thanks!
