If you go with option 1 you need to see where the other troops are going. When I play with friends you can bluff to get players to leave countries so you need to be able to move troops until the timer ends.
Definitely this. I would like to see what players have been allocated which territories, but think it would be best if the placement was invisible to the other players. That way, there's an element of strategy and a little luck in your choice of placement. If you're sharing Australia with one or two other players, do you take a chance on putting a big army there, or do you avoid the inevitable melee that will ensue if everyone makes that choice - or do you place your troops slightly scattered about, but with a focus on a preferred continent, so you can swoop in once the dust has settled. Seems like a fun option.

IDEA: This combines automatic and manual selection. Territories are automatically allocated by computer for all players. Players then select manually where to place troops.
This would be a third option of set-up (after manual and automatic) that can be set in the game options screen.
