I like simple solutions and since my capabilities in the area of map editing are practically non-existent I think we can either:
A. Rely on the kindness of someone who is competent at map editing to apply the fixes. Perhaps ano will be kind enough to take a look - I'll PM him later...

B. Just find another similar size map that doesn't have all these issues.

ok, let's proceed. which of the following you like and think is balanced enough for our game:
1. World of Warhammer (Vanilla)
2. Sharivar 10 starts (rdonj: "The map I used for Tourmaline is NI Shahrivar 10 starts"). Who made that one?- Can we ask him to add 2 more starts?
3. Bigger map (200-240). In which case we need 2 more players.

I made that one :P. I could probably come up with a configuration for 12 starts if it comes down to it. It would mean completely redoing all the starts though. In any case I don't mind either way. It could be interesting playing on world of warhammer... one of the few maps with a significant number of cave provinces.

If at all possible I want to play on Sharivar, it´s a *beatiful* map that I havent played MP yet. Can´t we just take Sombres version and edit out summoning circle?

I have no idea how well the warhammer map is balanced for MP. It seems to have lots of water which is not that great.
I think our safest choice is to go for 12 starts Sharivar. However this entails extra work for you rdonj. So it's ultimately up to you. You don't have to invest in this if you don't want to or don't have the time for this.
If it comes to that we can just take the warhammer map. It is a beautiful map as well, so should prove pleasant to play with.

I had about 30 minutes to burn, so..

Here you go, A fixed version of the Shahrivar (Sombre version) with the sites fixed. I replaced all sites that give independent mages or school bonuses with pure gem sites. Some of the sites are pretty good, some even give 4 gems, but since that information is now public, I think that it won't unbalance much.

Code:
-- Famous sites of Shahrivar (visible on the map)

#setland 4
#knownfeature "Monastery of Light"

#setland 7
#knownfeature "Crypt in the Sand"

#setland 11
#knownfeature "Well of Darkness"

#setland 8
#knownfeature "Red Forest"

#setland 33
#knownfeature "The Gate of Deeper Slumber"

#setland 40
#knownfeature "Singing Stones"

#setland 38

#setland 51
#knownfeature "Forest of Golden Leaves"

#setland 57

#setland 62
#knownfeature "Caveman Cavern"

#setland 79
#knownfeature "Sunken Island"

#setland 90
#knownfeature "Lantern Forest"

#setland 97
#knownfeature "Overgrown Lake"

#setland 99

I'll leave it up to Wraithlord to accept and upload the map to the llamaserver.

Thanks Burnsaber! Really wanted to play on Shahrivar.

I would have been happy with the powerful sites, has its incredibly rare you ever see them in MP (like 1 in a 100 games if your lucky) and its gives you a strategic point to fight over.

Nevermind thou, if other people don't want to have fun with such sites.

muchas gracias Burnsaber

I can't U/L the map to llamaserver. I get an error:
"The map file you just uploaded specifies an image file that the LlamaServer does not have a copy of. Please upload the image file here, then you can go back and upload the map file again.

Please enter the location of your image file below and click "Upload map image".
"

When I U/L the image it says it's already there. I'll PM the server's master perhaps he can help
