Why Don't Civs Start Where They're Supposed To? Increase Your PM Length

So I start up my game as the Americans expecting to get some time to acquiant myself with the interface before I meet any civilizations (seeing as how I'm in North American and everybody else I chose was in Europe, Africa, and Asia).

Next thing I know, I'm in India, the British are in China, the Russians are the Japan, the Japanese are where the British are supposed to be, and the French are in South Africa. What the hell is going on here? Aren't there any fixed starting positions?

I'm not liking this randomized starting and I'm wondering if there is any way to fix it...

Besides that, everything else is fine.

since when was a Civ game's starting position not randomized? Be greatful that they included a earth map at all.

Help yourself to an AD-FREE life

Damn it. Another game that promised to be "game of the year" screwed us over.

They better fix it otherwise Civ III just may be going back to the store... Unless something is done - Europa Universalis will be my game to replace Civ 3. At least they KNOW what quality means.

Everything works great in Civ 3 but I need those historical starting positions. I don't know why, it just ruins the game for me if it's all screwed.

Um, try Civ II and Civ I.

It is the most simple mistakes or oversights like this that worry me the most.
