Not to rain on your parade Ozzy, but I am really not angry at you, just surprised that you are angry at me.
But as far as starting locations go, I think that if you grasp the idea of a random continental situation, then I believe that the positions should be randomized, if you guys are making a special map for this, I think that the cartographer should decide the starting positions, but shouldn't necessarily due so with the idea of "equality" in mind.
The best Diplogamer is not the guy with the biggest cities, baddest armies, and most refined tech at the end of the game. The best Diplogamer is the one who plays the game effectivley, so that not only does everyone enjoy the game in the end, but that he uses the resources he was granted "by God" to do so.
That's what the game's all about, its better that everyone starts out "equally" but I don't think it should be a necessity.
