How this is worked out

Start worth = starting food, wood and coin + crates at what they hold + other starting units at their train cost. Infantry, cavalry and artillery = kinds of those units the civilization's own buildings train (no mercenaries, natives or revolutions). Best Colonial = what its best Colonial age-up hands over in resources.

These numbers describe what each civilization has, not how well it plays: bonuses in its own text and its cards change a lot.
