Capitals should produce 1 materials

from Elemental Forums

Right now, we're forced to build a workshop to produce +1 materials as our first building... anytime you take choice away from a player, you might as well just give it to them.  i think the easiest solution is just have capitals produce +1 materials.  I saw that you're going to give +5 materials to every player in 1.0.9q, but i don't think that's the right solution.

Yeah, I have to agree with this.  Currently every game you settle, wait a few turns (wasted turns) then get a workshop.  Then you can start playing the game.

I agree with this as well. And they should have 5 people to start with. Early game really needs a small boost.

Starting out with a workshop is optional, you could try to get materials in notable locations first, so you can build a farm before a workshop, if you get lucky and start next to a old growth forest, you wont need a workshop. Instead of capitals producing 1 material(s), you could instead have it to where you could have a strength for the sovereign where he/she gets 1 material every 1/2 turns. 5 people to start with is not really needed and would not help speed it up. You can already start out with 2 sentinels and Jansuk. So that can give an early start.

If cities could produce "stuff" (Gildar, temporary increased prestige,...) when there is nothing else to build, there wouldn't be "dead turns".
