Lego, Wendigo, I got you guys.
I just remembered one of those things that I should have thought to mention:
Edit: I forgot to mention; please give 2-3 days notice if you need to go absent/quit for attempts to find replacements.
Also, Wendigo, I gave you R'lyeh; It looks like we'll be finishing with 10-12 players. Can I get map suggestions for my creation this evening?
Also, could I ask the vets (Wendigo, Korwin, Ossa, Executor) to comment on R'lyeh as the only sea nation? I think that might have implications, but I'm not sure what they are.
In timeline; it looks like game up tonight at 11:00 PM PST, pretender submission, with first turn on Thursday or Friday...unless I screw something up in game creation.
10-12 people means 100-120 territories small, 150-180 medium. I'm not really friendly to considering "large".
That means 100-180. I am going over Llama's list, and removing the ones with insufficient land starts or too many sea starts (I have figured that giving R'yleh 30 provinces of sea is iffy
) It's possible I removed something good from the list due to short-sightedness. Apologies if I did.
So, organized by size:
Section 1: 100-121
Three Lake: 92 land, 12 sea (104, small)
Aran: 96 land, 11 sea (107, small)
Random map: Dark Paradise: 104 land, 16 sea (120, small)
Ilzgot: 104 land, 16 sea (120, small)
Random Map: Hellscape: 105 land, 15 sea (120, small)
Mines and Farms: 105 land + 16 sea. (121, small)
Section 2: 121-150
The Desert Eye: 108 land, 17 sea (125, small-medium)
Random Wraparound: Tiny_000, the middle one (the other two would be hostile to a water nation); 110 land + 15 sea. (125, small-medium)
Shadowshore: 120 land + 13 sea (133, small-medium)
Parganos (or fixed?): 116 land + 19 sea. (135, small-medium)
Random Map: Hieronica: 131 land + 19 sea (150, medium)
Section 3: 150+
Map for Old Kings: 135 land + 18 sea (153, medium)
Primea: 147 land, 9 sea (156, medium)
The Land of Loemendor: 142 land, 15 sea (157, medium) (The unmodified version)
Random map: Etruscae: 158 land, 22 sea (180, medium)
Urraparrand: 145 land, 35 sea, broken up. (180, medium)
ShariversomfixLlama: 168 land, 12 sea (180, medium)
So, looking for strong opinions/preferences from people (including the newer people), though I'm generally against going really large (more than 15-16 provinces per person)
