yes it is possible to have preset locations.
It is possible to have set locations - but not set *team* locations...

But can't you choose where each color starts? In turn, making team positions?
Still wouldn't work.

If you set it so red orange and yellow are on the same side in a triples game, what happens when you play a single player game on there? everyone starts on the same side of the map?

actually it could be solve with some simple if <-> then conditions.

for example:

if 2 p then starting locations a + h
if 3 p then starting locations a+d+h
if 4p singles starting locations a+c+e+g
if 4p doubs then starting locations a+b and g+h
and so on....

Hmmmmmm, stragey maps!! You guys seen the new Star wars map. i just bought it and its great coz you get certain cards that you can play at certain times in the game to quell other enemies moves.

I really wish CC would move in that direction rather than having all these bloody neutrels!
