If I remember correctly, the terrain has no affect and I would even go so far as to say that the terrain for the given province is ignored and is treated like plains even if it was tagged as swamp or waste in the map file.
Take that with a grain of salt. A lot of time and several patches have passed since I last tested it.

Just to clarify, this is only in regard to resources and pop, a swamp's still a swamp in terms of combat penalties and army movement, IIRC. |

Re: Starting Population Amount
+1 for setting all provinces to 30Kin the beginning. This difference really matters, that's true.
However, I don't really believe this will be fixed  |

Re: Starting Population Amount
I don't think there is a randomness added. It might be the result of scales or castles or something else, but to my knowledge the start pop is set to 30 k.

Don't do it Kris! Hurry, if you delete the post now, not many people will have seen it! Oh and delete mine too, since it quotes you. 
But I must say, multiple starts with the same pretender, on a map with fixed starting locations WILL in fact yield varying starting pop. <3
Just did 3 starts with same pretender, on same starting province. All 3 had different starting pop, ranging from 29560-30380. I know that the deviation is potentially larger than that, but as was pointed out, it really is just another random factor, I can deal with it - or drop over dead if it really is the end of the world. I'm pretty sure we'll be okay though.  |

Re: Starting Population Amount
Ah, that's nice. I like randomness.
I was afraid it was all structured and balanced. We can't have that can we  |

KO is actually the Joker. Look at the letters. They both wear purple. You never see them together.

Re: Starting Population Amount
I was going to go anagram hunting, but there is no J in Kristoffer Ostermann.  Come to think of it, I've never seen GW Bush and Satan in the same place, either. O.O |
