I agree. But my point was, that you can't reload games until you get an awesome start and then complain that the game is too easy (at least until they screwed the AI up). If you keep restarting until you get a great start, it's inevitable that you'll, on average and almost always, get a better start than the AI. You're stacking the game against the AI.Yeah, I'm the same. If I'm going to invest hours of my time, I want it to be fun. Sometimes playing a challenge is fun, so I'll play a sub-optimal start. But generally speaking, I don't want to play Mali if I am playing on a tiny island with no desert tiles nearby. Heck, I often play out the whole ancient era of a game, and if it's not fun, I don't even save it and just quit. Sometimes "it's not fun" means I got a relic on turn 3 and have a ton of space to expand into with no competition. Sometimes "it's not fun" means the AI has 3 swordsmen walking towards my capital while I still only have a slinger for defense.
Do what makes the game fun for you. If saving and reloading until you have a perfect turn and win all your combats is fun, go ahead. If restarting the game until you are within spitting distance of a natural wonder is what you want, then do that. If you feel you should play the game without ever restarting or reloading and taking what the RNG gives you, and never buying a luxury for less than 10gpt, and never pillaging a tile, then I'm not going to stop you.
Which is absolutely fine, you do what is fun. There is absolutely no judgement on that from me. But you can't then conplain that it's too easy.
