Prince Level Starting Positions

[AnaNg]

In between my ill-fated Noble domination game I've been playing around with Prince level tech/culture/whatever victory games a bit.

I cannot believe that sheer number of resources in a starting city on Prince. 2 marble, a wheat, a pig and a silk (this is all I can see from game opening). Settling in place also revealed spices and an additional pig. This game isn't any different from the couple of others that I've just messed around with.

Is this common on prince or have I just had a few lucky draws?

That seems like a lot - usually they are pretty good but two marble isn't too common! I think it depends on the map type, if you choose a fractal map or tiny islands, or duel size, you often get massive resources around the capital. I had 5 clams once hello GP farm!

Nice!

Yeah this seemed...

2 marble
2 pig
Silk
Spices
Wheat

And it's just a standard continents map! Man, why can't they all be like this

I usually play Prince and start with maybe two food resources and one luxury resource - varies a little, but it's usually something like that. The kind of start you're talking about is a dream - I don't think I've ever seen anything that good. (So, you may not want to regenerate that one!)

JEEZ! That is good.

What were the exact map specifications, I'd like to try and replicate it.
