When Civ5 (vanilla) was new and I started a standard-size game using the "continents" map script, it almost always divided the world into two continents with four civs starting on each continent. Somewhere along the line (either with a patch or with the move to G&K), it seems to have changed. Now when I use the continents script, I almost always start on the smaller continent of a 3-5 or 2-6 split of civilizations. In fact, I just started three continental games as William of Orange, and every time I ended up on a continent with only two civs -- and it is really hard to take advantage of the Dutch unique ability if there is only one civ to trade with.
Have I had a (long) run of bad luck? Or am I simply misperceiving things? When you start a continental game, how often do you get a 4-4 split of civilizations, and how often do you get an unbalanced split?
