As usual, list three places you'd like to play. Here's Dragoon's suggested position map, to serve as a guide:  but it's a guideline, not a hard rule. This time around I will strive to place people in a way I think will make a good stable game, in addition to looking at their location preferences, so please don't be surprised if you don't get your first choice even if nobody else wants it. I'm going to try putting skilled and reliable players in the center and close together, casual and having-a-real-life-ier players on the edges and further apart. The positions of the stars shouldn't be taken as exact - feel free to request, eg, "Greece but further south". For myself, I'd like 1. Norway 2. Scotland 3. Don't care, wherever is convenient.

(All of the below are republic start plans)
1.) Sardinia+Corsica+ maybe Baleric Islands if that's possible? (Samaritan) 2.) Eastern Spain/Aragon (Karaite/Samaritan/Waldesdian) 3.) Tunisia (Yazidi)
(In a bubble due to potential switching given what has been learned of Hellenic Mechanics (namely that AI Hellenic characters will never convert territory on their own) 1.) Greece (Athens) (Hellenic))

1. Venice (Patrician start). 2. Prussia/Brandenburg. (Feudal) 3. Netherlands (Republic/Patrician).
Their game can only exist to be won. Then so be it who else can see it done.

1. Scotland (the southerly bit, like Lothian) 2. Frisia 3. Northern France
Also, you might want to edit in Aragon as a kingdom, as it doesn't appear in the 769 start by default, and that'd put two player starts in the same de jure kingdom.

I'd like a Cathar Catalonia, a Cathar Leon, or a Sunni Andalusia, preferably far south.
Why conquer when diplomacy is just so much easier.

I reserve the right to put you in Germany if I think it best, but maybe your choices will still allow putting skilled players together. Read my blog.

This fills in all the westmost slots without doing immense violence to anyone's choices.

Are we making new dukes, or playing the dukes as they lie? (Specifically, I'm asking about title layout, not stats; I assume we'll personalize them and have them all be 3martial brave patient (which, by the way, puts them at age 52 unless we zero out the costs again).
Also, I'd stick Oddman in southern Germany, push Yami out to Hungary, and stick Ranger in Berlin.

I'd have to play up in Pommerania/Koingsburg, as I'm playing a republic and playing a non-coastal republic is pretty much useless. I'd like my Med Islands idea but other suggestions would be Greece.

The costs are zero'd out in the Mod, and Personally I think any level 3 education is fair though thats up to King of Men.
In Charlie, All of Pomerania is Tribal, So you can reform into a republic whenever its convenient.

It's not clear to me whether oddman is playing; he made one post saying "NEW GAME" and then vanished again. So I didn't include him here. I've sent him an email to see if he wants to play. Thinking about where to put Ranger; sorry for missing you out! Read my blog.

Regarding Ranger, I'll edit in a republic in Corsica/Sardinia and put him there; that gives Blayne some competition for trade in the Med, and put Ranger reasonably close to a couple of other players. If oddman wants to play I think I'd put him in either Prussia or Norway; alternatively, he might go in southern Spain and move Golle out to Hungary. Quote:Are we making new dukes, or playing the dukes as they lie? I'm going to go through the save and edit in dukes where there isn't a powerful one, or where the existing one is too powerful.
