Spreading human players?

[Ruatha]

When starting a new PBEM how do I stop the human players from beeing grouped in one corner of the universe and the computer player everywhere else?
I wan't some AI players betwwen the human players.

The only way to guarantee this would be by making a map with the map editor and setting starting points.

Ugh yes, somehow I always end up as part of that supercluster of empires as well.

We had that happen in a Humans-vs-AI game on PBW, too. All but one human player on one half of the map, all but two AIs on the other half. I met five human empires before I found an AI to attack.
