I started a game as russia on an alternate account (I have all the expansions) and first spawn was in the tundra on a lake next to a natural wonder (Actually Stupid good spawn) but on my main every time i tried to replicate this it just spawned me 5-8 tiles away from any tundra and i restarted 20 times and out of those 20 times 0 of them spawned in the tundra.
