Default Re: New Kinda Noob game Starting

I have the map 98% done, so I just need to double check for errors and make sure all of the starting positions are balanced.

The changes:
A: The center island no longer has the "Many Sites" modifier.
B: Eight land and one sea starting position have been added.
C: It is unlikely that the island player will take the entire island at the start and become neighbors with six players, they'll likely have 3-4 neighbors. But if they do extremely well, they get 6 neighbors as a reward!

My criteria for the starting positions are as follows:

A: Each start has at least 4 territories between it and another starting position (Excluding the water start).

B: Each start is adjacent to at least four territories, with the following ratio:
4 adj. territories = 2 farmland + 2 forest/mountain
5 adj. territories = 1 farmland + whatever else
6 adj. territories = does not need to be adjacent to farmland.
(The water start gets four adjacent sea territories, no tiny corner sea for you!)

Edit: Here it is, the map uses the regular image file. Land of Legends: Multiplayer. Two lucky players start with only three territories between them, but each has their capital adjacent to a large farmland province. Seems all right to me.
