The first problem mentioned has been fixed (at least as far as I can
tell here) with the second patch.  

To answer the second question, yes, the random guys take up room
(at the high end, I believe).  Increasing the max # of players is
one way to get around this.  Another would be to edit the nations
file to get rid of 1 or more nations.  Personally, I upped the # of
nations to 35 but it still fills up quickly with the peasant/army
revolts.

Good Luck...and happy gaming.
