Troy your mistaken, it is all about your placement of cities how the production is. Do NOT think it is up to a particular civ because it is not. City placement and how you play is the deal. After playing this game since 1998 this has been the case all along. Korea is great for science wins period, one must determine the type of victory they are going for when choosing a civ I feel. Hey have fun regardless, I enjoy Inca and Phoenician Civs.
Good luck finding someone to help you. Not a lot of help for modding around here or requests I have noticed.
