"You have knowledge of mining, roads...blah blah"

Hi all,

I was wondering if anyone out there knew what determines what "knowledge" a player starts with?

Sometimes I start with just mining and roads...other times i get a couple other bonus technologies...

Just curious..

The following things determine how much tech you get.

1. If you are close to another civ. The closer you are, the more tech you get.
2. If you are on a small island, you get tech.
3. If you get bad land like deserts or swamps, that also will get you more tech.

however this isn't written in stone but a very good basis to go one...... seems as if nothing is guarranteed in this game except exceptions to the rule

And just when you think "aha, so that's it!" it happens to be totally different
