How does "Culturally linked start loc" work??
I started a world map game, chose to play the English and ended up in north america. What kind of linking is it?

Cultural linking means that you start near other civilisations in your culture group. So if you are the English, you will probably find the French, Germans, Russians etc nearby. If you are playing on a world map, however, it won't necessarily put you in the genuine historical starting positions - I believe you have to make it that way yourself in the editor. Cultural linking just determines who your neighbours are likely to be.

Yes and that is why some turn it off. They do not want to see the same predictable civ all the time.

For the same reason I use randomly generated maps. I don't want to know the landform of most of the planet in 4000 BC. Unfair knowledge leading to racing ahead with spearman to Panama and other chokepoints.
Nothing worse than realizing you are on Greenland.
