Hey, there were lots of good ideas in there.

Restricting the game to 2 players was cool - that kills kingmaking dead, and that's a good thing.

Getting rid of all maps, except that 64-province one, is also a good way to avoid stupid .map bugs.

Leaving just 6 different units, and removing summons and magics, makes for more realistic gameplay, and balance seems much improved.

I'm not sure why this "Militia" unit (the one you start with 8 of) is only allowed to move to certain provinces, or why you can only move one unit each turn, but the removal of the "simultanous turn" was a logical step, since, with only two players in the game, getting each player to submit his turn quickly won't be as hard anymore.

Overall, I think this gives a much more polished look to the game, and it now has the potential to become a true classic.
