this is something a friend of mine mentioned, a gamemode/gamerule that limits your origin options each era. (lets say choice of 3 instead of the full 10)

he though of this because if you give him a choice he will always take science, so instead if there is a way of limiting the players choices you can add more replayability to the game.

If I have well understood..
Each player will choose one culture per era and each culture can be chosen only once.
So unless you are always the first to pass to a new era (and so in this case you have all the possibilities) then, you'll have each time a new pool of cultures depending on the cultures left.

Ah, but what if you're doing a two player game? I like this idea, although couldn't you just roll a die or something to pick 3 on your own?

True, at 2 or 3 players, that could be an interesting option

I didn't actually know that cultures got locked when other people picked them before you, where was this information shared?

how the game calculate the most advance civilisation. ( the civilisation that choose first his next era)

This is all based on the Era Stars we mentioned before. We'll explain in more detail later, but they are like objectives you can pursue in each era to advance to the next.
