The .map file is a simple text file, which you can open with notepad or anything like that.

Put the commands at the end of the file, and yes then they would all start in those provinces. So it would look something like this:
#start 45
#start 72
#start 112

The province numbers are in the maps themselves. Load the map in the Dominions map editor, and make a note of the province numbers you want there.

IMPORTANT NOTE! If you save the map in the Dom3 map editor, you will <i>lose</i> all the commands you manually type into the .map file! I haven't bothered to figure out why this happens yet. I have taken to opening a copy of the .map file and copying everything I've added into the clipboard just in case.

Ah got it thanks! This will make my games so much better! That and being able to set each nations pretender!
