Oh, and here\'s the map
Allies have exactly 2 provinces between their capitals.
Enemies should have exactly 4 provinces between their capitals but I did that by hand, might be a 3 province route somewhere that I missed.
The teams are:
Team 1 (Niefelheim/Ulm) - Red
Team 2 (Pangaea/Arco) - Yellow
Team 3 (Mictlan/C'tis) - Magenta
Team 4 (Sauromatia/Ermor) - Green
Team 5 (Abysia/Yomi) - Cyan
Team 6 (Agartha/Caelum) - Blue
Team 7 (Helheim/Marverni) - Black
The start provinces are all marked with colored lozenges. The number of neighbors was going to be related to how much space you had to expand, but that didn't work out, so everyone just has whatever start provinces they have.
After picking the fourteen start locations, I colored them randomly:
12/26 - Cyan/5
29/37 - Blue/6
97/98 - Magenta/3
115/142 - Black/7
153/156 - Yellow/2
218/232 - Green/4
226/228 - Red/1
Red and Magenta are both pretty *****in', Cyan got a bit screwed - I don't know if Black is in a good position or not. Sorry about that.
In all cases I put the "bruisier" position closer to the middle. That's Niefelheim, Pangaea, Mictlan, Sauromatia, Abysia, Agartha, Helheim.
The map file is attached.
