[BUG] Starting position too close to computer player?

I do not think this is working as intended.
Stardock will be closed for the week starting on Monday, June 29th and we will be returning on Monday, July 6th. We will be monitoring support tickets and forums during this time but expect delays in responses during this time.

I do not think this is working as intended.
On the other hand, you have a wonderful opportunity to build one city that has 2 farms, and perhaps beat the level 3 city limit people have been experiencing.
I don't think we can get through the city limit yet. The progress ring around the city icon at the bottom blanks out after you reach lvl3.
This game later froze when I was telling a city to make a road; not sure if it's reproducable.
I have the same problem see screenshot at: http://www.screencast.com/t/5PhxTYDgWA
