I propose:Bear in mind that Novgorod or Kiev are very likely to inherit eachother, since one of them is ruled by the son of and the other
Let's not make exceptions for anyone.Also Bin, if you are wilingly we could switch spots. As the noob i am i guess no one would mind having me inherit both Leon and Castile at start.
As I said - if anyone is playing Kiev, someone should play Novgorod too.The Duchy on Russia is Pronsk. Kiev is too big and strong compared to Novgorod and Masovia, plus it starts too close the the last one.
