I see that i am not the only one requesting for real start location world map... If we can chose local civs from the starting location that would be awesome. Each players could have different choices. That would make each era less competitive to choose civs before other players.  I imagine humankind in a more realistic simulation of our beautifull planet. This is what i was expecting when i paid... I am disapointed now. I still have hope that upgrade can be created and ameliorate humankind mecanics.
