I'll start assigning starting locations then, but I still need info about VP's. Do we need them? Are they in the capitals? I only ask becouse capital VP's mean 'target locked' for bless or pretender rushes without scouting.

I'm strongly against having capitals marked with VP's for the exact reason you state. I don't see what's wrong with having victory conditions as half capitals (or half+1 to force two superpowers to fight) with all claims going to the non-playing admin.
The graphs are on (AFAIK) so the chances of a sneak victory are very slim. And besides, if you see one nation streaking away on the province front, but then do nothing about stopping them, then you can't complain afterwards with statements like....
"I didn't know XXX was so close to victory. I didn't know they had so many capitals. If I did I would have tried to stop them."
Scouts and good old common sense are your friends here I feel.
