I do sense a LOT of luck though being incorporated into this game. Imagine the guy who starts with 5 farmlands compared to one who started with like 5 or 6 provinces with below 3K population.

There is always luck. I have started as ulm on farmland with 2 adjacent neighbors before (one water). I say, the more provinces per play, the better chance of having a less dramatic effect due to luck.

There will be an element of luck to the layout of the starting province allotments. But really... its not so much more than the regular amount of luck that you face in any game with your capital's starting position.


In other news, I tested out modding in Sages to a capital and its working fine. After 3 turns (the proposed initial cease-fire period) I was able to get up to level 4 in one school on Easy Research. I think that that is just about right. Nations who rely on magic will be able to quickly advance whatever school is important to them. And by the time the initial cease-fire is up they should have a handful of good mages to make use of it.
