If all the maps are only "fair" I'd quit civ. whats the point with having the same start and map alwys over and over. To eiffels suggestion, this event provides a lot of different ways to win. A situation where you can't win is extremely rare. 2v1 on same island and other player without access, for example anc. Is one though. I agree if that happens it's not a lot of fun. Maybe a restart in such a case, but if its a later era than medi, I don't see a problem. you can always boat.
Still random random is its kind of event, we already got too many "fair" events, I'd like a bit more variety to be honest. Not less.
A good team can cope with different situations.

I'm going to explore the option of the admin team designing a custom map for one event, using the world builder, that no team would get until just before the match and would change with each round, but I'll have to do some research first. But I do think the random/randome event is good to have in the CCC, the only thing I'd be willing to consider is exchanging it will another event and moving it out of sunday.

If random map should be adapt to the random era, this event would be fantastic ;D At the moment, too often does the random map not fit the era

The Random/Random can create some pretty unfair set ups for sure, but it also makes for some of the most intense and exciting match ups. It would be nice to have a "teams start together" option installed on the Shuffle map, it certainly would make things more balanced yet still random. I'll see if there is any possibility of this with the developers.

yeah, i remember a random random ( must be 2 or 3 CCC ago ) where kingdom and I found ourself in same situation : king was on the cont with 2 mdr, and i was alone on an isle We managed to won the game anyway, with king defending to the hell and i trying to get more points than the 2 others guys united ( what i managed to do once, so i've not been useless in the game ) Rand/Rand is weird, i'm not up to play it again since, but if some ppl like it no prob
