Seeking map or need advice on making it

I could easily whip out 50 or so with DomMap that you could pick from. But even if it does look like it offers you a balanced game you might want to lock in the starting provinces.

Yup, I love that "No Start" feature. I'm sure I can create a few per side that are fair. I think that if they are each exactly one off of all edges and are surrounded by the same number of types of provinces plus having the large provinces only in the center that it should be very fair.

Also, no starting on fresh water and I'll probably start the players on large, mountain, just to givem a jump-start

Any other ideas to add?

Most maps will hit a limit if you do #nostart. Those are best for marking off a large map with certain provinces which would suck as a starting capital, such as a 1-province island.

Better to use #start and pick a bunch of locations. The game will make sure that all players start in one of those spots. Makes for a shorter list.

Nice idea!

Thanks again...

Already?!!

If you can make a map that quickly, I'm throwing in the towel!

This is all I've gotten done in a day and a half so far:
