If the Throne were set to be neutral at the beginning of the game then it wouldn't affect any existing games. Hell, it could even be a neutral drop of 2 if you think that an imposing neutral 3 would make the Throne + Great hall bonus pair obsolete.
I just recently played this map for the first time, first in a 1v1, then in an 8v8, on the 1v1, throne started neutral, so I didn´t think much of it, but then on the 8v8 someone started with that +1 bonus, now since it´s an escalating 8-player game, it basically doesn´t matter, but I think the map would be more balanced and it would make more sense if Throne always started neutral.
