This is a very cool map.

Some notes:

• Generally, I like the uneven starts - it provides a lot of variety and interesting decisions. However, because of the extra cities, some players can be very screwed early on in an unfun way, tech wise. Amurites are the main one I've noted this on, as they have a useless city pre-Sailing, no worker techs, and generally poor land.
• Without No Vassal States manually turned on, a number of civs instantly vassalise to Auric Ulvin. Hence I turn it off - but this makes Puppet States and the three Bannor powers awkward.
• Decius loses Valin unless he revolts to Order - perhaps he should start in it.
• The kraken/Leviathan are pretty punishing for Cardith Lorda. Suggest giving them Animal AI (if this can be manually done), or making them held, at least for a number of turns. Perhaps Leviathan alone could be freed?
