I think your starting position was better than what some other people ended up with, Jomon. Like Sanguinia and their wasteland, me and my mountain+forest low pop provinces.

But yeah, seems a lot of maps have too few 'plain' provinces.

It was just a bad map in general, I think. Instead of having some even bell curve distribution, it tried to be too much like Europe. People got stuck in huge swaths of particular types of land.

I don't think you understand how frustrating it is to have a mountain in the middle of your territory, and forests EVERYWHERE.

I had maybe one province that didn't have a forest or mountain on it. I had units with both forest and mountain survival, so movement wasn't an issue, but having no gold income and only 1 or 2 provinces over 5k pop was something of a drawback.

I agree that it didn't seem a very balanced map for MP and trust me I understand terrain and start position frustrations. But most nations had similar issues on that map.
