Other settings look fine to me!
Yeah, I'm yet to see a single spiral map that isn't horrifically unbalanced. Whoever starts closest to the centre of the spiral wins, simple as that. It's a shame because I think it's a more visually interesting and evocative map than a bare star field or ellipse, but it's just a balance nightmare. I'm fine with settings as proposed.
Surprise! Turns out I'm a girl!
