Communitas Map - Do Civs normally spawn so close to each other?

[ranger101]

I've played the Communitas Map before in vanilla civ5 and with this mod. it seemed like there was greater distance between the Civs.

Now very often, a civ has room to put 1 city between any enemy, as there is not room for both civs to stick a city. I tries moving up from standard to large maps with similar results.

Has anything changed with the mod or the map? Should I increase the sea level? I like to build a bit before butting heads with another civilization, but I like the Communitas Map since it makes navies more important.

Nothing has changed recently. I play on standard/Atlantic and Pacific, and only occasionally feel boxed in.

If anything I feel like Communitas tends to provide more good land per Civilization than the default map scripts do.

Just like the other map scripts; RNG related.
So far my own starting locations with this map have given me plenty of distance so that I don't feel crowded.
But on the map, I'm playing, AI Rome was boxed in between AI France & AI Maya.
