Alright after restarting the umpteenth game for the umpteenth time could the "start bias" get a little tweaking?
I just did a dozen restarts to get a Poland game with 2 pasture resources.
I encounter similar frustrations trying to play as Japan wanting sea resources (forget getting atolls in the capital it's never happened for me).
Same thing with Spain and NW's. I'm not asking for one in my capital but something fairly accessible from time to time would be nice as opposed to in another civ's territory or basically belonging to a CS. My last 3 games as Assyrian, France, and now Poland all had a NW accessible to me, but across all playthroughs as Spain it's only happened twice.
To a lesser degree it occurs with the Aztecs as well, although lakes do show up after a restart or two.
I'm sure there are other examples I could think of (if I wasn't trying to explore a map right now.....and yup only finding one other city location which will be able to build a ducal stable....)
Listen, I'm not asking for an easymode start location, and it really is too late in the game for changes to this iteration of Civ. But a "tailored to selected Civ" option would be nice. You know "oh hey he selected Poland, let's make sure he has pasture resources and let's throw an extra one or two in the area". You know, cause when I select a Civ to play with I do kind of want to leverage their UA's, UB's, and UU's.... Without having to resort to using mods all the time.
