Doh. I should have checked out Primea more closely. The version with the fixed starts was semi randomized and some of the provinces have defense much tougher than standard indie setting. If we go for the non-semi randomized version we will probably have to choose starting locations. Also, there's something strange about the map - provinces 64 and 65 seem to be in the same position. Haven't checked out exactly why that is.

Given that, I thought I'd attach a map I created a while back when generating a batch of maps through RanDom. It only has 120 provinces but was not intended for ocean nations so only five are water. I think it's an interesting map. The screenshot shows proposed start locations. The water is not as muddy looking in the real map as on this JPEG.

If there's any interest in this map I'll upload it to the llamaserver for review.
