New Map: Faerun - The Forgotten Realms

As a result this prevents human players from playing C'Tis in a multiplayer game where players have more then one starting province because the game could be seriously unbalanced.

Heh. This is a double flaw, I think. On the one paw, starting with multiple provinces may give C'tis one (or even two) extra castles with gem income.

But on the other paw - with a single starting province, 2 of C'tis's four neighbors are special Uber Provinces. With even a slight amount of bad luck on the other two (knights and crossbows, say, or one of the tougher amazon tribes), C'tis can have a pretty rough start with nowhere to expand.

Edit : And actually, C'tis isn't the only one that can start with multiple fortresses if it starts with more than 1 province. Pangaea has Hellgate Keep for a neighbor and can start with it; others may as well. Possibly the "solution" is to play with only 1 start province per nation, although C'Tis having 2 uber-neighbors out of 4 still seems to beg correction.
