Hey I haven't seen this suggestion on here anywhere, and I did just type it in the Dev journal but it should be here.  No matter if the map is small or large, factions start the same distance away from my start area.  The larger the map the further factions should be spread out imo.  I like large maps due to this, but with large maps with the same distance starting positions, there are 4 or so factions in about a 10th area of the map.  Right now playing larger maps just make late game worse and longer but boring.  For those of us who play large maps in order to build up a bit before facing other factions would be an improvement imo.

I do not want to sound like compalining, just my 2 cents, which everyone has ... or 10 cents or 20  

You guys have done a great job imo trying to get this fixed, but also polished so it is good for the player/consumer.  Kudos to you guys for not giving up, for communicating (which includes responses and constant updates unlike other companies), and wanting to have a finished, fun, complete, polished product.  Personally I can't wait to see 1.1, but don't rush, I'm like everyone else who wishes it could be done now, or yesterday, but the main thing is to have a good working update.

Anyways, am I the only one who sees this with faction starting position spacing?  Opinions, thoughts?
