No. Your perspective will tell you that you are three nations among an incomprehensible sea of hostiles. You know there are alliances among them, but you will not be able to know (without scouting information) who's working with whom.

Ugh. After generating about 200 maps with various settings, I realize that ParadoxHarbinger's MapGen mixes up wasteland and mountains. Giving only a few mountains on each map, and a bunch of deserts. We might be forced to look for a pre-built map.

Will the teams be randomly started around the map, or do the teammates start near eachother?

Teammates will start near each other. Simple layout of the starting nations won't necessarily give you the teams, though, since everyone should start about the same distance from one another, just with some of the adjacent players being allies.

This whole anonymous thing sounds exciting! Can't wait to start!

Regarding the map, maybe we could ask for suggestions in the main forums. I'd like to help, but being quite new to the game, i really have no idea.

Nations have been sent to team leaders.

I'm looking favorably at GreeceStain by Pashadawg as a map. It's very nice.

It does look nice and balanced. I'm assuming someone's gonna help out assigning locations to players/nations?

Oh, an important bit of design information for many nations. R'lyeh did NOT come up as a nation. They aren't out there.

How should we name our pretender, since the name could give away the player. The last time I did a random game, the pretenders were named after the nation, in capital letters. So the pretender for yomi was named YOMI,etc.
