Okay, my turn
I'm going to make a suggestion about Starting Neutrals. I think that some Neutrals starting with 3 is a bit too unappealing in some locations.
Neutrals that should stay at 3
Neutrals that are also key border countries - They should stay as 3 because of the Strategic Advantage
1480:3 - Ireland
1468:3 - Denmark
1467:3 - Danube
1443:3 - Armenia
1545:3 - Vesturland (though not sure if it should be replace with Austerland to prevent payers from being "blocked in"
These commands have limited appeal, except to players who occupy the other half, but could be kept as 3 because the bonus is worth 2 (or for a similar reason)
1541:3 - Transylvania
1491:3 - Latvia
1500:3 - Minsk
1448:3 - Belgium
1512:3 - Norte
Neutrals that should be reduced to 2
These also have limited appeal, except to players who already occupy the second half. They should be lowered to 2 because the bonus is only worth 1.
1528:2 - Slovakia
1542:2 - Tyrol
1454:2 - Budapest
1450:2 - Bohemia
Neutrals that should be reduced to 1 (or maybe 2)
These regions have no strategic advantage in taking at all. The game can easily be won by "playing around" them. They should be lowered to 1 since no one has any motivation to take them. If you think 1 is too low, then starting as 2 I guess is acceptable.
1538:1 - Switzerland
1436:1 - Andorra
1494:1 - Malta
1503:1 - Moldova
Remember that with so many Auto-deploys, unless the setting are "unlimited reinforcements" then a lot of these bonuses will go wasted, hence the need to make them more appealing.
ANOTHER IDEA:
Also remember, the only reason we have so many neutrals is so the game doesn't stall while trying to allocate players. I think it would be safe to eliminate 1 or 2 of these starting neutrals altogether without causing a crash. If so, I would vote to remove Vesturland and Armenia (since Armenia is a 3 country command).
Others to consider would be some of the "center countries" - Tyrol, Budapest, Bohemia, Transylvania, or Danube.
