You simply add to the map file as many
#start province nbr
as you have players, and each player will start at one of these selected locations, selected randomly for each nation.

The point is space evenly the starting locations.

I did it for Troubling Times on the Faerun Map and I can do it here too, but if an "innocent hand" does it, starting locations can be kept secret. If I do it, I will know all starting locations and I will share them with you for transparency, so each player will know where other capitals are located. Less fun than having to discover them.
