Totally new random starts!

[Abaddon]

How about more setting in the start of the game?

number of citys you control
tech age
%map explored.
etc

its almost an automatic scenario creator!

 

[Theoden]

Do you mean like accelerated starts in civ2?

 

[Abaddon]

no idea.. hardly played CIV2.

 

[sir_schwick]

yes i think he does, but with more options. Although you could also set it so player started with 3-4 size 1 to 2 cities with no tech.

 

[Abaddon]

yeas, but even more variation... starting units/colonys/resources etc.

I'd more likely see this in an expansion pack; this would require many hours testing proper "random" start conditions that wouldn't spoil the game requiring multiple restarts. But it sounds like a good idea. I like it already.
