I might just place overlords in some sort of equidistant pattern, mark their provs nostart, and then open a game and see where it randomly places the remaining nations.

Ideas?

I just edited a map for the Early Days game. It had some nations in prefixed start locations and other placed randomly in a choice of prefixed starting locations.

Some hints:
- Nostart overrides the command for fixed starting position, so if you mark a province as a nostart and set a nation there, you will get a crash error when you try to start the game.
- You need to keep an eye for terrains that are marked as nostart in their terrain code. That also overides any #start commands
