Starting Locations

from GalCiv2 Forums
I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this...when starting new random games, it seems that starting locations aren't balanced or evenly distributed throughout the galaxy. it's slightly annoying to start and have two civilizations in the solar systems right next door. i know i can hit Crl-N a bunch of times until they're a little farther, but shouldn't this not be a problem? i don't have this happen in games like civ4 random generated maps, so the code can't be too complicated. this is my first post, so i'd appreciate suggestions and help getting this addressed possibly in one of the new patches. thanks

I agree. I think it'd be fantastic if we could have races arranged in a circular pattern, corners, etc. It is rather annoying to have all the AIs on one side and you on the other side by yourself.

That's the reason Crtl-N exists, as you pointed out. I can see how other players would enjoy having the challenge of using the first map generated, especially when surrounded by other civs. Flavor.
