I need some help about start position

[76561198233718232]

when i play a new game, in the Earth Map, i finded that the start position of different leader are always in the same place of the America. Some in North America, others in South America, but all in America.......
Always beginning with similar place is absolutely boring, is there anyone know where can change this situation?

change the setting from culturally linked to random.

the stock earth map does not come with TSL (true starting location). If you set the game to culturally linked by ethnicity, then yes, they'll all start near each other coz they're all ethnically linked.

If you set it for random, then they'll all start close to each other without any ethnicity grouping, but still all clumped together within a minimum distance from each other.

you'll need to go find a mod if you want a real earth game, with true starting locations. I would suggest gedemon's yet not another map pack, find it on civfanatics
