I think starting with more troops might be better. More starting money would be hard to use for nations with a resource pinch (like Ulm). (Although they might be able to use it on mercenaries; IMO there should be at least 2-3 mercenary companies available on the first turn.)

I agree. It's silly for the standing army of a nation to be roughly what one could recruit in one or two months. Plus, some of the nations starting forces really seem much better than others.

Another thought is to tie the size of the opening army to the strength of independents.
