That's exactly what I've been saying for a rather long time. IF we want an interesting competitive game we need to give everything more or less equal starting conditions. For example, I doubt one'll have a large motivation to play well if he starts in a desert/swamp region and I understand it well. WL, if you remember Qwerty, on turn 9 I had 8 neighbours, 3 of which were very close to my capital. On top of that there were only wastelands around me and if not my ally there I would have surely fallen very fast. But here are no allies and no diplomacy.

Yes, dominion restriction might be a very good idea. Something like 7 should be fine, I think
