To All, I am curious. Does anyone have any idea how often a player is disadvantaged by location in the game? Also is it possible for a player whom has a bad location to win if the two opponents are different but equal in skill and strength.

Then one more question, if this occurs quite often, then why isn't the Balance MOD used as the default settings for all KOTH games? I know that there is one option in place in which a mediator can create a balanced map. I just ask these questions for info purposes. I am not complaining, whinning, etc about my own random location in my last game. It made the game very interesting and actually is a bit more realistic - you never know where a civilization will take root. I learned a bit at what not to do if I am in that position again. :}

Thanks for sharing and satisfying my curiosity.
