Well, acually I’ve got not so obvious, but still annoying questions about map generation. First game what I started, I was placed in North America and surrounded by 80% of Anu’s bases. Most useless faction weapon, no snipers, no heavies for hire. Other 20% bases (Syn and NJ) were without training and research centers, so no techs and no diplomacy with them. I had only one base for both America’s and wasted a bunch of time to check that. Happily, that game was lost after update. Next game I was generated with base in Europe, near with second base in Africa and surrounded by 60% of NJ bases, but with Syn research bases in access. As a result I took control of the entire globe even before at least one faction base was destroyed, and all three factions pray for me while I rob them. Incredibly big difference in difficulcy.
