[BUG? / question for fellow gamers]

from Elemental Forums

Does any one else seem to play the same or a very very similar map all the time? I start very often wih a few forests to the north of my starting position, mountains to the east, on the other side of the mountains is a patch of fertile land, north is some resource, I alsways start on the same shaped land tongue surrounded by a sea... See the screenshot, this pretty much the only start I have seen so far.

 

the start I get all the time

Hey that almost looks exactly like my own starting location in my 1g game (too bad it crashes when loading the save game).

Same here ! It seems they forgot to randomize the maps. And di you try to unzoom at max ? I can't see the map's edges .. It must be a huge one.

Same here, although it's quite stable for me.

Update : it's randomized. But the differences are really small.

I also had them there and i think the sov may be standing on them in the screenshot. only my farmland location was north of my capital instead of east.

Yep, just kicked a game off and my starting location is very similar indeed.

 

Not only that when I Ctrl - U'd to have a look around there was only a single shard in the whole world, right next to an AI players starting city. :P

It seems this is fixed with yesterdays .291 update.
