Random how?

[kmad]

I've been playing Monarch as the romans (standard, continents, 7 civs, all random, sedentary barbs)

and every single time I start out, I have the Greeks, Carthaginians, and the Egyptians on the same continent as me.

How random is that? whats goin on?

It is an option and you can turn it off when creating a game.

Actually CLSP, would have been more likely to give the Iroquois, Mayans and Aztecs every game. It's bugged.

Only if he's playing Conquests. It works as intended in VC3/PTW.

Yep, I like CLSP. I mostly play the Germans and always get the French and Russians as my closest neigbours.
