I am having trouble with getting planets with enough starting food production. Not only are they starting with less then a 1000 food but the Government has no money to buy more and few resources to build more farms. I was using at first Robinson Cursoe with the peaceful option and many nations. Now I am using the Robinson cursoe with volent option and normal number of nations.

Also I have had a start where I picked 3 starting cities and only got 2 while all the other majors got 3. Granted I was in a very defensible position with one complete Zone surrounded on 3 sides by water but still.

The Crusoe option is best used with single City start, as there might not be enough population for everybody in extreme cases. Especially if you select the "many nations" History Class

I'll run some tests 25/8 (when back in office) to see if I can adjust for this though. Ideally you shouldn't start with a Zone less than the AI.

Best wishes,
Vic
