After winning on HK several times (with only strong or ok cultures in the early game, experimenting only later when I'm already ahead), I decided to try starting with only weak cultures and see how it goes.
On my 1st try I didn't even play the classical era (I want to see how it goes with Romans or Goth) since my ancient era game with the Hittites was so bad. The terrain was bad, sure, but that happens to me every now and then since I find re-rolling the starting position a bit boring. But their ED is so bad it doesn't have any utility, and it took me forever to get to their EU (which doesn't even look very strong).
Has anyone got a good start with them? The only idea I have so far is doing some form of neolithic rush to compensate for their early weakness. And then... maybe ignore all of their unique staff and play them as some sort of vanilla culture?
