Please. Give us the option to turn off Independent People, or at least the hostile variety. I cannot tell you how many games have been killed in the crib because I'm getting overrun by vibranium chariots before any actual civilizations on the map even have bronze working to fight them off. I know I could probably be preparing for this eventuality better and focus on building a military before getting too into my economy, but I'm just so sick of dealing with these cheating little vermin I just want the option to not have to deal with them at all. It really kills my enjoyment of the early game to get ~30-40 turns in and have to restart because the game just decides I don't get to have fun.


I apologize for the charged language but I am very frustrated with this system.
