1. You can use the name instead, like "volcano"
2. The nostart limit was for old Dominions I. There is no limit in Dominions II.
Yes I have an old memory and sometimes its hard to kep 1 and 2 straight. 
As I remember it, not only could you use the name but you HAD to use it. A problem for me. By any chance did Dom2 change that? Are numbers now useable with sites?
And if I read the MapEdit correct I thought #start was used to set a possible starting position and #specstart was used to lock a nation to one starting position. Doesnt #start randomize the assignments? Great on the no limit but the old almost-programmer in me wouild want to use whichever one creates the shortest list. If its shorter to mark the nostarts then I would do that. If its shorter to mark the starts then that seems a good idea (my maps take forever to come up anyway so any little bit helps)
