Hello, I was thinking recently a lot about balancing EW better than what we have now ( not really a difficult task :D ) and I came up with an idea. The civs would pretty much get a "return" from their bonuses. Here's what it would look like.
Incas
Start with a llama
Indians
Start with additional 125 food ( as a result of food "saved" on producing 25 villagers )
Italians
Start with additional 75 food "saved on upping from dark age"
Japanese
Start with additional wood ( I can't be bothered how much to calculate at the moment:D ) "saved" on resource drop structures
Lithuanians
Start with 150 additional food
Malay
Start with + 2 villagers ( from upping )
Malians
Start with additional wood saved on every building that they have at the beginning of the match ( similar to Japanese but applies to all buildings like their civ bonus )
Persians
Start with + 50 food + 50 wood
Teutons
Start with additional 48 wood from 2 farms seeded
