Was the only way I could think of to make sure things started even, particularly in terms of who's close to which rush target.

That would have been a good reason to use a large map.

1) Aren't FFH and BtS completely different games with different strategies?
2) Tell that to rego.

Yes - but then when you win, certain parties would blame *me* for that.
I just want to get out of the way and pull out the popcorn  .

True, but starting capitals have vaguely similar parameters. Although FP are much better in FFH, and plains tiles can be more useful if the happy cap crunches in on you, too.

2nd rule of being a map maker - don't care what the players think or feel.

I'm actually more bothered by the lack of sight FWIW. The start is fine, I'm happy to settle in place - I just don't want have to explore land when I don't have a 2 move scout which the others do have. That's a direct nerf to the CoE.
Also, I want to know what it would be like if I settled on that silk for the extra 2 commerce/turn.
