My idea is basically all players begin in a archaic periode of
civilization live. (players not get spetial name or flag, probably a
auto temp one), the choice of a flag, and eventually civilization bonus
is made after somethin, construc someting, research someting, wing a
batle. the first player can choice the best civilization.
eventually the choice can be different, if we palace is constructed at
pole we can get a spetial polar civilization, if the pacae is contructed
 near the pole and near sea, we can eventually choice viking , if the
civilization is the first to get a citi of a another you can get some
specifc cilization . etc, etc)
this need to rewrite some part of the game: create temporary arcaic
civilizations and pospose the choice to later, i need your opinion befor
working.
note, i think the archaic period can have a limited tech. but this is
not the more dificult think.
