Now that we have Native Americans, Native Asians, Native Africans, and “Native Europeans,” I think the initial bonus some civs have of being able to see trading post locations for playing “home” at the start of the game needs to be reworked a bit. It does not make sense that for example the Incas or the Aztecs know the location of the royal houses as soon as the game begins, while the Europeans must explore the entire map. That is why I propose the following:
Pre-Columbian civilizations and post-colonial civilizations can see Native American settlements.
Asian civilizations can see the native Asians.
Africans can actually see native African settlements.
Europeans can see the location of the royal houses.
Also the native TP could have the ability to “train” the ‘native embassy’ bagons. This would remove the need for villagers to build embassies (although they still could).
