Alright, I have set up the starting locations. I realise not everybody would be happy with them, but it is hard to get a perfect balance with all those large desert areas, deficit of farms and lack of natural borders in the middle of the map, so please don't hit me too hard.

I'm ready to start whenever you are, but since Sambo is unavailible till Monday evening there's no much point to be hasty. Besides before creating a game I'd like to be sure everyone is still here and satisfied with his nation, becouse if someone has dropped off I would have to rebalance positions or search for a replacement.
So please, following people:
Trumanator
Isokron
Shuma
Dragar
Agema
TheDemon
Ossa
send me a PM you are in and happy.
