Remark about mapmaking
Wouldn't it have been easier to use 17 "#start" commands instead of 262 "#nostart" commands ??
When placing starting positions, did you pay attention to the terrain of the neighbouring provinces? I think you didn't ... . Some nations rely at least initially on troops build with ressources, which they might not have if everything around is plains or grass.
Map errors
wrong connections:
39 - 60
42 - 60
terrain errors:
#2 should be normal
#10 should be small
#58 should be large
#143 should be large
Magic Sites Setting
Someone said sites 50 would be a good balance with bloodhunting.
Did a test game on poor Orania map: Gives not only very few resources, but low income as well. This will limit the numbers of blood hunters.
Found myself constantly cashing in fire and earth gems just to be able to buy more mages (no bloodhunting, though).
This might result in a very gem-centric game. I would suggest sites 40 or something.
