grrrrr, spawnings Tired of ads?

Why the hell does all most every Civ (Usualy all for them) have to be spawned on the same land mass (Usualy what you would expect to be a chain of islands, but they are joined by tiny bits of land! This is so annoying since i want to have some cool naval battes from one land mass to another, not around them!

You can go into the editor and change "distance between civs" under world sizes. That should spread them out some more.

One could argue that this is the work of the AI

Perhaps it's in the difficulty level too. Higher difficulty=neighbours can reach you?

Enter the AD-FREE zone

But on ANY difficulty level it seems that as soon as you find one of them, they know where your capital is.

As I stated before. The AI cheats. They know were not to go so as to not sink their pathetic boats either, yet still find you in the middle of the blue ocean.

If they've developed writing, then they can build an embassy. Doing that will show them the location of your capital just as it does to you when you establish an embassy in a foreign nation.

I usually build a random map in the editor, then I seperate land pieces so they won´t be connected too much, because I like naval battles as well. This leads of course to that I have a clue how the map looks, but I usually forget that when I´ve played for a while.

Support Apolyton, buy Civilization: The Boardgame

I pick the smallest island setting and it amazes me how often how often there is a large land mass with 4 of 5 of the 8 civs on it. i like it best when each civ gets their own medium sized island with room for at least a dozen cities. this has many benfits one being that less often the AIs will attack me for no reason, and on those occasions when I refuse to give up a tech and they declare war, they cant actually do much damage. It also prevents me from steam rolling all the AIs once I get tanks.

Support Apolyton or Terrorists Win

It helps prevent counter-offensives
--------------------------------------------
A counter-offensive is like say...
...If the allies failed their invasion of france and the Germans invaded England, that would be a counter offensive.
Of course naval counter offensives are alot harder!
