I really like this move for this game. The politics of province growth often dominate games, and also leads to weirdly quick population explosions. Taking province growth off the table makes a new kind of game (and, most importantly, encourages holding contesting as you can't rely on pop growth to expand.)

Re: Future game set-up concepts
Will we be able to see source holdings before we give our preferences?

Good question, I guess so, yes.

Re: Future game set-up concepts
Just at the level of rumours would make sense. Sources are still hidden, so non-source regents (and distant source regents) shouldn't know where they are unless they've been told.

Re: Future game set-up concepts
Will the Gods be changing, based on the no growth mechanics balance, and the mechanics that dealt with shrines? Will the god builds be made public?

Re: Future game set-up concepts
Yes, Gods will be made public. Might tweak them a little for balance, but Population Growth is still very important, especially in the cities - if they ever drop from plague or war, it will be extremely difficult to rule them back up without it.
Re: Future game set-up concepts
They will be re-hidden after domain selection. It is for purposes of being able to see the domains, not for knowledge of contesting etc
