Default A new spectacular multi-layer map!! Wanna try??

Yes, my map is finished. It's a fantastic map and I think 8-10 players should fit on it nicely.

(for those living here.. yes it's the one I was asking advice for.)

-multilayered map
-about 300 provinces
-The mountains on the "earth" part of the map are sticking through the clouds (you can see the tips of em on the "cloud" part of the map. The highest mountain sticks through a middle cloud layer up to the highest layer.
-Caves lead down or up in the earth, sometimes multiple levels
-Rainbows are a connection to the "cloud" levels
-Deep parts of the sea might lead to even deeper sea's under the earth.

I would like people to try the map a bit to check for errors. I played on it a bit and it seemed good.

This isn't what I intend to be the or a "final" version.
Things needed to be done:
-I keep reading about programs which make it so that only provs with 4 neighbours etc are used as starting sites. I'll look into that.
-I would like to create 2-3 startpositions with fixed races
(Vanaheim on top of the large mountain) Niflheim or Abyssia (but I read that the AI might not be good with Abyssia EA) each with a decently build Pretender + outfit and scales to match. The last would probably be sea based, I'm thinking MA R'lyeh (also with a nice Pretender and some outfit).
-Some special locations with a thuggish defender and a large number of troops (which preferably don't fluctuate like normal. These would most likely be on spots where you travel from "plane to plane"

and maybe later a new division in more provinces.

So that much for advertising etc.

Now my questions:
1. CAN YOU ALL PLEASE PLAY THE MAP (preferably mulitplayer (just cus it prolly gives more and faster insight to problems) but single player is great to of course.)

2. Do you see problems in the things I want to do with the map (can one set the races as I want too, and more specifically can you set races from different ages on one map. (the player should just be able to choose an age and go from there.. only those 3 players should have fixed race, pretender and start position))

3. Can you tell me which program will be best for making the nostart provinces for land based provs with < 4 LANDneighbours and seaprovs with < 3 SEAneighbours AND at least like 3-4 provs away from each other. (I think this is something pretty standard but I have no clue)

4. Can anyone of you help me with the whole scripting part?

5. Is there anyone who hosts maps or should I just attach it? (I'm doing this anyway (zip-ped) but no idea if it's permanent )

Attachment updated for the erroneous sea tags on land provs
