I'm sure you always got all three, and I've checked the memory of a few
others, so I have confidence in my own memory. The default message was
"The %s have knowledge of Irrigation, Mining, and Roads." (IIRC) (Too bad
it's not convenient to check; over Xmas I was briefly playing original Civ
on a 486 --- man that was fast.)

This doesn't mean we couldn't make it possible to start without roads, but
it never happened in Sid's Civ.
