Bah! Corner start this time. Don't know whether to love it or hate it.

Hmmm. My capital is at the same province where it was before.

(Earlier today I've connected to the game without deleting my saves, since I was not aware that the game had restarted. Since then I've deleted my saves and made new turn, but my starting province is the same as it was before the restart)

I have assumed it was supposed to be this way for everyone, until I saw Lingchih's post where said that his starting position is different now. What the heck? The chances that it's just a coincidence are 1:300.

Any suggestions?

Your start can very well be in a different province, especially if you deleted your earlier saves. I have run into this in two recent games now, both of which were restarted, and I ended up in different province.

I understand that. My point was that I was surprised to find myself at the same province.

I am in a different spot too - I think Corwins point was it is a weird coincidence to end up in the same spot both starts.

From a great and thematic starting position for Pangaea to a ridiculous and crappy one. How nice.

Indeed, it is strange coincidence. Still, it makes it a bit easier, does it not? You already know what to do from that spot.

Aye, indeed it does. The Caelum High Command has its strategy planned for the next 25 turns down to the single soldier and last arrow. Generals are greatly relieved that they will not have to recreate all their genius plans due to change of our starting location.

Of course all these plans are based on assumption that any potential opponent we will encounter will instantly surrender and will cry tears of joy of being able to join our glorious empire. But our generals have assured us that this is very reasonable and safe assumption.

Umm, your not privy to the plans of the Caelum High Command, that is a right only reserved for me
