What I'd really like to see is an option for every player when setting up a game to choose their starting location on the map. We were trying to play a 4v4 last night and we would've liked it if we started out together at one side of the map and the other team on the other side of the map. This was not the case and we started spread out all over the map. We had to restart the game several times to get to the locations we wanted.
I would really love to see this one (1) feature in a patch. I am not experienced enough to talk about balance issues and all that, and I leave that to Innociv's thread, who had some very good points there.
Would it be possible to get such a feature through a new patch? If so, that would be great.
P.S. Oh, and while you're at it, could we please have the option for random resources back as well??
