Could we please get some sort of normalization of home provinces, at least as an option? IE, something to minimize the effect of the number and quality of neighboring provinces, so that lucky/unlucky determination of neighbors doesn't supercharge/screw a player.

Example of why this would be nice : in a current game, I went with a strategy involving capitol-only sacred troops. Accordingly, I took a starting dominion of 7, to maximize how many I could recruit. But with only 3 neighbors, all of which are exceptionally crappy (total population, less than 14,0000, total resources 38) I wind up with my home province, even with the 50 admin fortification almost everyone starts with, having a grand total of _88_ resources. As far as recruiting / using those sacred units, I might as well have taken a starting dominion of 2 or 3.

So - something that said, "OK, every capitol should be able to pull in 200 resources (modified by productivity/sloth) after capturing all neighboring provinces" would be a huge equalizer - if said province has 10 neighbors, each neighbor gives 1/10th of 200. If there's only 2 neighbors, each gives 1/2 of 200.
