As has been mentioned many times in this sub, it's very easy to decide who will win a game based on their capital city starting 9-25 tiles. Is there not a way to equalize at least the starting resources of each capital to be able to produce the same population? I have too many wins and losses that are based solely on luck of the draw when skills are both players are just about equal. As much as I love starting in a capital with a buttload of resources, it doesn't feel good winning by forced resign turn 8 because the opponent started with the bare minimum required for their tribe to exist. I'm all for random, as long as each tribe STARTS on equal footing. Before even a single decision is made.
Just my 2-cents, 12 paperclips, and pinch of pocket lint.
