Nope! The only person that got to look at that was DrP when he was setting things up. The rest of us get to discover it all as we go .

Re: Perpetuality - The 60 Player MegaGame (Signup)
I did give in to temptation and look at my own start location, I'm afraid - I had to look at the undocumented ones (Lanka, Eriu, Tir) to make sure I had the nation #s right - but I can't remember where they were - and that the map file loaded correctly with the mod (it does.) Other than that I have no idea, and I uploaded my pretender before I generated the map, so it can't have influenced my decisions (I took more productivity than I'm going to need.)
Some general facts -
* Every land start has at least three land neighbors, not counting swamp or wasteland. Most have more.
* Every sea start has at least three sea neighbors.
* There are at least three provinces between every pair of start locations.
* Nations with an amphibious or maritime component (unless I missed one) were guaranteed coastal start positions (there were more than enough to go around.) The coastal starts still have plenty of land neighbors.
Coastal may mean next-to-a-single-province-lake, or right on the ocean. Script doesn't care and I didn't check.
Other than that, I handed out positions in the order in which they were seeded, which is close enough to random.

Re: Perpetuality - The 60 Player MegaGame (Signup)
Okay, I count four oceans (southeast, north-central, southwest, and small northwest, roughly.)
Southeast : 3
Southwest : 2
North-central : 2
So that ocean in the upper-left-hand-corner has no starts. Other than that, each body of water has at least 2, and yes, they are connected to eachother anyway.
Fortuantely I'm so drunk that i don't need to remember accidentally remembering exact province numbers deom what I just checked. Woo! FREEBIRD!

Re: Perpetuality - The 60 Player MegaGame (Signup)

Worse comes to worse you can email it to me (though I perfer people upload themselves).
Try restarting the PC and trying it again. If that doesn't work email it to me.

Update: 38/62 Gods uploaded
Remember the due date is end of day Monday. If I don't have your gods by then I'm giving away your slots and/or making the nations AI.
