What Daynarr has mentioned is the balanced way to play the map right now for a multiplayer game. The first game I started my brother was playing C'Tis and got that fortress and bonus gems as a starting province. His gold and gems from that one province was more then all three of my starting provinces.

In my opinion it would be okay for a computer opponent to get this extra advantage. However human players should start near the same starting level... unless one of them is a newbie player.
