Ok, so I created a three vs one map in the Forge. I turned random starting positions off and assigned home planets. So from what I have read in the forums thus far I should be starting as player0 every single time...but when I go to create a new game with the map it puts a CPU in player 0 and me in player 1.
What I mean by this is that when I create the game I see a computer listed as the top player, myself as the second, and two other computers as the third and fourth -before- starting the game. It is this way every single time. It wasn't always like this but I'm not sure what could have happened to cause the default human player number to 1 instead of 0...
Has anyone else run into this? I can't seem to find any answers about this except "turn random starting positions off"...but they were off to start with.
