Being able to specify the starting techs would be very good. I tried
setting the number of starting techs and to my surprise they were not
chosen along the lines of development the nations are set up to follow.
An option to allow the initial techs to follow the lines laid down for
each civ instead of being chosen randomly would be very useful. Then for
example Egyptians could start with Masonry, Horse Riding and the Wheel.
