It'd be really good if some food was added on a civs's spawn, or that the location of a civs spawn will be around food. I've generated a couple games so far and the majority of these could barely go past size 2. In the spoiler there are some capitals (Athens is especially diabolical):

Oh, and I just finished genning an Aztec start with no food bonus in the BFC, but at least it has Grassland.

yep we are speaking of this in the first impressions thread. That Babili start should have really had flood plains instead of deserts. I thought it was fixed in 3.17 ?

i thought in 3.17 all desert rivers made a flood plain, is this only in solvers?
