This is very interesting to me. I think if I were creating it, I would use these settings:

Definite:
--Age: Late
--Map Size: 200-300 provinces
--Magic Sites: 0
--Spell Level Limit: 3
--Research: Very Hard
--Pretender: Limited to level 6 in all schools of magic
--Worthy Heroes mod
--Conceptual Balance (Pretenders and Scales ONLY) mod

Possible:
--Ban Ermor and R'lyeh
--Few scattered water provinces, rest land
--Pretender limited to level 4 in all schools
--No independents mod
--Level 1 spells moved to level 2, 2 moved to 4, and 3 to 6
--Ban Caelum and Arco (tramplers may be overpowered)
--Limited selection of MA and EA nations permitted if desired (i.e. MA Man, EA T'ien Ch'i, etc)
