Title: Turn 1 order: Base it on ranking
Post by: Keybounce on February 18, 2010, 09:26
Right now the order on turn 1 is random.

I'd like to see it based on ranking -- the better person gets the #1 curse

Put unranked people last; put AI's before the unranked. (They need the help of going last or nearly last)

Turn order on turn 1 is random because RANKING is random. Everyone has the same money and no land.

Agreed. I do not want my rank outside of the game I'm about to play, have anything to do with my chances of winning that game.

I concur, leave it random. 

Refresh my memory; random events are suppressed for the first round, correct?  In such a case, the only thing first round rank applies to is land selection tie-breaking and auction sale priority.  Not small things by any measure, of course, but with it random sometimes you'll be ahead, sometimes you'll be behind, and it'll work out in the end.
