The best option would be to either find 8 groups of territories that are evenly distributed, or as natty suggested, split up the parachutes and leave the rest (ie the non-neutrals) to a totally random drop

After the parachutes drop there are still 24 positions to be started on, which in a 2 player game would give each player possibility of dropping 8 terrs. With this there is real opportunity for a player to drop 5 terrs in either the castle or the airport to gain a start bonus.

The chance of any player dropping 5 specific terrs out of 24 in a 1v1 game is 0.26% (It's slightly more (.4%) in a 3p game). I haven't worked out the probability of dropping all 5 terrs in either area, but I'd imagine it'll be no worse than double that, which is still pretty unlikely.

This will be submitted and will fix that, and the starting positions for new games.

No it will be fixed by the new starting positions.

Fitz, these are now the only starting positions in the xml, which means in a 2 player game you might get three of these each and the other go to neutral. the rest of the terrs are dividied up amongst 3 players.
I hope this is what you are asking.
lackattack updated this on Wed.
