I stated that I had not personally checked the map setup--that is quite factually accurate.

As for the cause of your dislike: I surmised that it was either adjacent province quality or that you were placed very close to another player.
I attempted the courtesy of not publicly assuming you were unable to defend yourself in an early war.

One neighbor starting within 3 provinces of my own would be dissappointing, but two is just absurd. Especially when both neighbors have little choice but to expand into territory that would have been mine without contest had I not been pinched.

This just isn't fun - I handicap myself enough by rarely (if ever) playing the same nation twice and trying to go with builds and nations that are not recognized as top-tier.

Muse: Assume whatever you like. It's a game.
