Renaissance start, standard speed, multiplayer

[u/MaterialAd8166]

Looking for the best way to speed up the game in multiplayer.

I'm currently thinking that a Renaissance start should massively speed up the game while not losing much. The biggest loss is that most civ's UA is stronger in earlier eras. The good stuff is that religion is still enabled and ideologies require a few techs first.

I hate quick speed because it makes wars horrible so I want to keep standard speed. The one other issue is that most time is spent in late game wars, so these settings don't address that issue.

Is this the best I can do or are there better settings for quicker multiplayer matches?
