No mean mapmaker! This is why I wanted pre-knowledge of starting resources or a screenshot, little too much gambling for my taste. This is probably a bigger issue for anyone with a Hunting or Fishing civ, as there is a bigger risk of them being completely useless at the start. I won't try to unduly influence you, but as I said earlier I think it's preferrable that the gambling aspect is minimized.
MusicMan, how do you feel about early religions? I think it would be a waste of beakers to go for Hinduism or Buddhism before completing BW and Pottery, especially with early culture being less of an issue for us.
