It's Dalmus, it mentions that in the Legend.

Where is Dalmus, 'cos it's not in the sea.

Deciding if this is necessary is usually done by checking MrBenn's Bonus Probability Calculator. A small probability of dropping a bonus is usually tolerated, but I suppose the decision would also depend on the value of the bonus. Sadly, my work ISP blocks fileden.com, so I can't get there from here. I will try to remember to check this out at home tonight, if no one else does it sooner.

I suggest encoding it to start with 17 territories each. It is pretty easy, although I don't know the exact odds, to take two territories knocking the 2nd players starting troops to 4. Especially if you are an experienced player this gives even more of an advantage to the player going first.
I play 1v1 almost exclusively and I highly recommend you bump the starting territories from 16 to 17 in 1v1 games.

every 3 territories bonus zone so Arleus and Itherania
I suggest as following

Sarle (1 border)
Arleus (end of a road)

Azuran (extremity of Arkleus territ)
Thierland (end of two roads)

Itheria (centre of bonus zone)
Cancella (centre of bonus zone)

It arises from the fact that there are 51 territories (a golden number), but 2 of them, Rolloland and Dalmus, start neutral, so we actually have 49 starting territories (a somewhat tarnished number). I suspect it is a lot more disruptive to existing games to add territories in Beta, so we should consider carefully all options.
