Okay, I fudged a couple of those starts over a province in one direction or another in order to give some of the others at least five land neighbors. Not a drastic shift in any case.

I also added an automatic Iron Mine in a few provinces, represented by the school of mines logo, so that all the capitals end up with roughly equal resources (it was heavily skewed in favor of the starts with more neighbors,) and I eliminated a waste province from the far west but didn't bother with other waste provinces since those starts generally have more space to grow (according to the computer which isn't fooled by appearances).

So, Velusion: assign each team to a color (Red, Yellow, Green, Cyan, Blue or Magenta) and I will put them in place.

The final version of the map is attached, this is all you will need to play - I'll send Velusion the map file after he assigns teams to colors and we can start!
