World conquered - 3200 bc
I started a small/diety/raging/7 civ game to try the no cities record. I found 2 civs, both at the same time, and I conquered them. Then, I saw the guillotine. Only those two civs were listed. I am sure I chose 7 civs  Well, now I have the record for diety  . I'll send anyone the saves if they request them. Incidentally, the 2 civs were white and green. (Celts and Babylonians.) Does anyone know about this glitch?

Strange indeed !
First of all, two questions.
1) what version of civ do you play
2) did you choose the no-restart option.
As for your record, I have already conquered the world by 4000 BC at Deity/raging hordes. It was when I created gigamaps with not enough land masses for starting locations. I was playing MGE. The game started, I read the message saying I was leader of my tribe, pressed enter and went straight to the conquest of the world ending !
Unbeatable record, but not one that required any playing skills !

It has been reported in the past that if the computer can't find suitable starting locations for all civs you will get less civs. But I don't think I've ever heard of getting only three when you asked for seven. Are you sure no civs were killed by other civs or barbs?

2.42 diety
yes, chose don't restart
No civs were killed by barbs. The land mass was 60% hills and mountains, so I am pretty sure Paul is right.
BTW JB, I have won in 4000 too. I was trying to play a game by myself for testing purposes, so I put the ai on desert islands so I could test something (which is better? Pyramid or GL?) I got the guillotine because the ai disbanded their units or something.

What size map? Paul's idea wouldn't make that much sense on a large map. If it was a large map I would be more baffled then I am now. Maybe you accidentally pressed random.
Whoa!!! I just re-read SD's post and they were the green and white civs that got land to start. That sort of confirms that the upper civ's get better starting location.
