Corner Starting Positions

[Ironhawk]

So, we all know that players who start in corner positions almost always do better in a game due to the defensible nature of thier capital placement. I had a thought about a way to fix that tho:

Place corner/edge capitals directly in the corner or on the edge of the map.

This would cut down the number of connections thier home province has significantly and act as a balance for the defensive nature of thier placement. So, players in the middle would have high connections and good production at the expense of being located in a vulnerable place. Whereas players on the edges would be very secure but have more trouble producing and fewer avenues of expansion (if they hit hard indys).

What do you think?
