I'll quick work out a non-scenario version today and post it

Note for others: GIMP is a free paint program and these were generated with various scripts that come with it while playing with the color-pattern sets. |
Thanks again!

No, though same idea, I just quick put together a copy spell of Eyes of God with 0 research level and 0 gem cost, played with every player as human and cast it on the first turn.

Yeah, issue is I like playing with a number of mod nations enabled, but perhaps it would be better to figure out a different solution, or at least a compromise. For example, instead of 5 modded nations, reduce it to three(also eliminating the problem of two nations with not quite fair starts) and placing some special provinces with good special sites, defenders and so on.
