I remember reading (I forgot where) that the editor was to include a tool to check the balance of each starting position, so map designers would have a QUICK way to tell if starting positions in-general were balanced.
I prefer it with unequal starting locations as it ensures civilizations differ in ability- in real life there are strong countries and weak countries and the weak get crushed, and i like that.
I agree with Ian Beale regarding starting positions however can see the usefulness of that feature in the editor for those multiplayers when you want everyone to start off with a equal starting location.
I can just see it when I beat my sister player... "You starting position was so much better than mine."
