Quite a disadvantage when the war started and probably the reason for it. Guess it was a MEE war, scores were 3.0M to 1.3M at turn 190. Not much left of this advantage at the end of the game...

Yes, it's a fact that the starting place (top or bottom on this map), really makes a difference.
Really I'm not sure what's the reason.
It mean that the results of this contest, can't be considered 100% fair, because when 2 AIs are both strong, the starting place would decide the game.
For the next rounds, the AIs will play at least 2 times against their opponents changing sides in the starting places. Think it would help to keep the fairness, but still I dislike this fact... |
