I tried starting a few games on a custom terra map (huge, 18 civs) this weekend but I kept getting what I consider very bizarre land/resource distributions (I also learned that my comp cant handle huge games comfortably ).
I kept starting either up in the tundra or on narrow (1 square across) spokes. I also noticed mass conentrations of resources..i.e. 6 fur together, etc. Below is a rough text approximation of the most bizarre start I had. i still have the initial save.
(R= russia start loc, M = my start loc, G = german start loc - note they had to move away to build their first city, X = 'normal' map land square, C = clams)

Is this weirdness normal on terra?
p.s. how do I take screenshots in civ4 to better illustrate?
