It seems likely that there is a function to return a pseudo-random coordinate for any arbitrary starting position, else there has been a program design gaffe. Assuming there is such a function, there is likely a companion function that reads the coordinate and assigns it to any arbitrary civ, else there has been a program design gaffe. Assuming there is such a companion function, assigning the coordinates from the editor ought to be trivial, else it has been poorly designed.

It seems to me that speculating on the design and implementation of an application of any size or depth (which the editor is, IMO) is an exercise in futility. Drawing any kind of conclusions from such a speculation seems equally as useless, or worse yet, specious.

The editor may well be poorly designed, but any guess on that is just that; what's important is the execution, which for now -is- lacking.
