Okay.
So you want me to balance out:
Total number of provinces within 5 hops (disallowing passage through seas)?
Total number of shortest paths to whatever provinces are within 5 hops? Which will mean that each start location has an equal number of nearby chokepoints?
The *only* way to make this even for all start locations (along with inter-capital distances) on a map this size is to have neither water nor impassable mountains, which I think makes for a very boring map.
Is archaeolept the only one who wants a map like this or does anyone else share his concerns? Because the other start locations vary tremendously in this respect, as well.
If we're restarting anyway I'll swap start locations with him, but cannot do anything for the eastern positions.

goddamn it i am not asking for any exact mirroring bull****. I was responding to your specious mathematics. If you can't use your own eyeballs to see how black team is far more constrained and hemmed in, then there is no possibility of relevant dialogue. the start as is is crap. since dr. p refuses to acknowledge the possibility that he could be wrong, and instead engages in a series of perversions of the issues i have, please remove me from this game. I would far rather be in any old random start game than argue against the person who created a totally bolloxed start.
HOW DO I COMBAT TWO MOTHERFSCKING TEAMS TWO ON ONE DR PRAETORIOUS? HOW IS IT YOU CONVENIENTLY NEVER BOTHER TO RESPOND TO THIS?
I refuse to engage in this humiliating argument any more. I will not be uploading any pretender. Give that start to some chump, and watch dr P's march to greatness.
remember, as there is no problem, there is no reason to change this map w/ my leaving.
perhaps having an interested participant in the game design the start locations is not the best of procedures. I have no trust or faith in the current self-interested system. To my mind, the start of this game has already been poisoned to me by all this bull****. What is the proper procedure in a set start if a participant feels that a start location is much worse than the others?
