As i play my custom civ and dont like my start, i go to the main menu, and start a new game and it amazes me how I will get the same map, planets, and bonuses tiles almost everytime!  I usually have to load another race, start game, quit out, start a new game with my custom faction and will get a new map that way(usually but not always...the only sure way is to close the game and then start it up again).  Otherwise, its the same one over and over.  Was wondering if anyone else was seeing this as well?  Was also hoping Ctrl N would be in as I like to change the map.  Not sure if this is a bug or not, or even if anyone else has this problem, but thought id check and let the devs know it is happening to me.
