And, as I was thinking, even with Cradle 2 there's provinces that aren't non-startable even though they should be, because they don't have 3 land neighbors.

106 for instance - land provinces, 4 neighbors, but 2 are water, easily shafting a nation. Terrain is 256, farmland, but (according to the designer) it should be 768.

Personally, I'd really encourage map makers to use #nostart, because that way it's easier to step through the map, jot down the # of provinces that shouldn't be startable, and then grep / awk / perl / etc all provinces that are currently excluded from starting provinces.
