Default Re: MP game; very hard research. Any takers?

Were you thinking about specific province numbers?
Hmm, I actually need to use my brain for once. How annoying.

Okay, I just opened up the .map file and three provinces are already no-started: 8 (little island all by itself), 82 (the Desert Eye province) and 92 (cul-de-sac province next to the Desert Eye).

In addition to these, I suggest that the following should be nostarted as well:

1) Province 8 on a neck between two bodies of water. I actually had a start here while playing an SP game with an AI at either end. It has three land neighbours, two water neighbours.

2) Province 51 at the end of a mountain next to a body of water. Two land neighbours and one water neighbour.

3) Province 114, a peninsula. Two land neighbours, two water neighbours.

But really this is map with plenty of chokepoints, so some start locations are really a lot better than others. Just take a look at the map. Up to the other players if they think it's okay. I'm fine with it if the others are.

Atlantis will run riot on this map I bet, easy access to lots of places.
