Is this a normal thing now? Starting city areas have zero essence - this is for a custom created empire AND hero/leader.
All 0 essence tiles. Anyone notice this?
I have had it happen to me a few times. I normally don't like to use Ctrl-N, but cases like that I usually do.
The starts can definitely be very unbalanced sometimes. The essence usually shows up adjacent to magic shards, crystal mines and some monster layers. Setting magic, resources and monsters to dense in the set-up screen will increase your odds of getting essence at the start and give an overall map with more essence everywhere. Or else just Ctrl-N until you get a start you like.
Not a great idea, the more you ctrl-n the more the game gets screwy. Better just to back out and start a new game
