Accidental/Intentional map design problems.

I recently played a game with 16 provinces per player, and there are two capitals within three provinces of my capital. And they completely blocked my way to the east and south, and north +1 is the map edge. Talk about bad luck.

The same happens to me all the time. As I only play SP, must I think the AI cheats ?
If it is the case, my PC will be offered a just but short trial, before being thrown through the window, or staked and burned in public. (to offer bypassers a little warmth during these cold days)
