Method for balancing starts:
We give each position on the map a number. We line them up 1-10 in excel. Next column we place a random number in, and then reorder the starts. Therefore we have no control over who starts where.
Also, out of 2604 tiles, there will be about 60 water tiles inside the donut, and maybe 300 ish outside? There should be alot of islands, all settleable via galley. I'd definately up the estimate of land tiles on standard.
