I think you should block adjacent start spots. It can often ruin the game when someone starts right next to another person.

true, but lets say your the last to go and theres nowhere and sombody made a bad choice and blocked themselves in... i agree random adjacent start spots is annoying, but if they have a good purpose you shouldnt take them away... tough choice

Hmm... I still would like at least an option to turn off adjacent start spots.

ESPECIALLY in 1v1.

Then how would you punish greedy players who hog a starting spot so good noone can do anything about him?

Good starting spots do give an advantage, but the first player will generally always get it.

You simply start in a spot near them, not next to them.

Why not make it so that if you start right next to someone, you can't attack them until they have more than one space(or 3 turns if they press "end turn" on purpose).

rat has a good idea, make it an option for the game maker at the start. Like Attrition or HC

There could be a special options drop down list like "No Chat" and "No Adjacent Starts".
