Here's the beginning of an idea I was thinking of last night while half-delirious from flu:
Have a REALLY epic game, where you start back in the stone age tens of thousands of years ago. You'd need to discover fire, hunting, tent-making,
Yes you'd need to be able to do some minimal research before even settling your first city. Maybe a "wise man" unit could be able to provide 1 beaker/turn, which would make the player protect him from animals/other tribes with his warriors etc..
Then eventually you research Cities and can actually become a civilization. Those who never get there are doomed to be barbarians! Somehow...
And then the normal game of civilization can start by settling cities and starting to research hunting or whatever other tech you want...
Could make the epic game epic-er in scope! lol
