Warlord
Strangely, everytime I get to play him, I always start at the coast.
The map generator is NOT random...
- Thread starter varus
- Start date
I will not state that some civs allwasy start on cost or in jungle. I will say they have tendancy to do so and map generator tend to place them there, if it can.
So, some times they get different starts, but they do have some preferable starts.

I've only played with Ragnar once, and I did not have a coastal start with him.
I did start next to a rather large freshwater lake, though.
That game was pretty crazy, I actually used the Oracle to pop Philosophy... because I had already researched CoL before I started the Oracle.
For whatever reason, nobody else had done it either.

Just to followup on this. My latest Warlords leader on Marathon/Huge using everything random is Frederick. Have started about 15 games until I settled with one I liked (I usually do not have that many with a leader). Overall I found 1) most random starts (I would estimate 80%
were arid rather than temperate/tropical/cold/rocky 2) 80% of the time Marble (can you say great library) was within one of the first three cities but NEVER stone, 3) About half the time my settler did not start on a coast but was landlocked on a river/Oasis/Lake, 4) Horses/Copper/Iron are almost always within settling distance. So the random generator is not random for specific leaders. My question is " Does Frederick always start like this even when he is an AI" which means if he has the techs he's going to get the Great Library first since he will likely have marble. Also I noted he tends to have certain AIs (10 others on Marathon) arround him such as Mao, Ghengis, Hyuna.

Only way to know for sure: lots of starts with lots of leaders in a lot of computers ( it could be related to CPU clock or something of that kind).
Looks extremely boring to me...
