Planetary Spawn Locations

from GalCiv4 Forums

Hey dev peoples, I was wondering if you could "fix" something that is kinda annoying and heartbreaking.

When you first open the planet view to your home planet or brand new core world, it is an exciting time! Yet it can turn into a major bummer when you see you got one of those really nice tiles that gives a +3 to manufacturing, but it has an Epimethius Pollen spawn right one top of it. Or that amazing tile that gives +3 to population, but it has a Helios Ore spawn on top of it. So we either never get the benefit of that great tile, or we have to destroy a valuable resource.

Please stop forcing us to lose out on our joy and excitement of that brand new planet, by instantly smacking us in the face with a Sophie's Choice kinda thing.

Please stop spawning resources on the "special" tiles!

Happy Tuesday!

Heh, I think that's just the nature of RNG. Not sure if there is a way to mitigate that as it's just part of the design and when you need to make hard decisions.

I think it should be easy to not spawn resources on special tiles. I'll ask the team about it.

While we're on this topic, it also sucks when the empire capital is at the end of a peninsula so its innate +2 adjacency is basically wasted. Every new game I cry a little bit when I see that my capital is in one of the worst tiles on the planet.

Should be able to place the Civ Capital just like the core world capital.

Covered before but every vote counts.
