I have started, edned about 20 games now (I am really trying to get a feel for the game before starting on a marathon huge map, and also figure out how to mod out the water poison for 24 turn problem) before I start on one of my true epics.
I have discovered the following
1) Horses are aplenty!!!! Definitely easy to get 1 or even two horse resources with your first 2-3 cities.
2) Copper is scarcer than ever, more often than not I cannot see any after discovering BW.
3) When copper does show up it is in a general area. Example I am on a continent with three AIs, random map generator and it looks to be arid with long rivers and lots of flood plains. Copper is present in only one area of the continent, and there are THREE minable resources of it there. You could get all three within two fat crosses of adjacent cities.
4) Iron is more available than copepr but not that much more.
I am guesssing this has to do with future corporations and those required resources, but shooting for mining/BW right off the bat could be very disappointing and earlier archery may be the way to go, just for sufvival.
