When you are setting up a new game there should be an option to pick the number of opponents but then an option for the game to pick those opponenets randomly. In CIV4, one of the most exciting things about exploing was not knowing who you would run inot and then being surprised, happy, and or dismayed about who you did run into. Loved running into Ghandi right next door but damn I hated it when it was Montezuma right next to me.

Right now, picking your opponents takes a lot of the fun and surprise out of it.

Anyone else think this should be added????
