Does anyone know if these are working properly?
I've used balanced start many times and found AI capitals that were nowhere near equivalent to mine. One particular one I remember was getting a capital with a single luxury tile in range and then finding that Kyoto had four luxury tiles (including three unique luxuries). Bonus and strategic resources were about equal, so it isn't like he got hit with none to make up for his luxury-heavy start.
Legendary start I tried once, and got a city with one luxury and two iron (no pastures, and one or two wheat three tiles out). There wasn't anything else of note nearby to explain how this was "legendary." It had a lot of hills...but this was a new world age map. I would normally say that one start isn't really enough to tell but this was supposed to be legendary...so at the very least a bad legendary start should still be better than an average start.
