Random Seeds and Resources

[jtravers88]

I've setup a game like one I'm following on youtube. I set the seeds. When I start the game, I'm in the same location, the topography is the same, but the resources are different. For instance the youtuber has Ivory on one tile, while mine has none. But I have turtles in another location where the youtuber doesn't. So I assume resources are randomly generated when the game starts. However, I decided to start the game again, and I get the same resources as before, with the turtles. How can this be?

Can you give the youtube / screenshot from that and a screenshot from your set up?
And the seeds?

I thought that when both seeds are the same, you should get the same map. It might be that there is still something dependent on the machine though. But I sure like to try that.

He could run with a different setting for start and/or resources. That might make a difference.
