The map making is going well. Some players requested that the map be fairly snug (no more than 10 provinces per player). The map will have 199 provinces with 18 preset randomly-assigned, land-based starting positions. There are about 18 water provinces. So, there will be approximately 10 land provinces per player. (The map is drawn. I just need to do the neighbor assignments, etc.)

I think a few players are still traveling. So, it is more likely that we will start on October 2 or 3 instead of October 1.

Feel free to send in your pretenders any time.

Thanks.
