Heh.

Incidentally, I'll point something out that might not be immediately obvious : the little mini-towers ( Spoke Stations ) that protrude from the top and bottom of the map aren't just graphical fluff the way the big towers, stars, novas, etc, are.

ya, they are actual provinces! what a surprise that was. too bad every single on is Wastes.

thanks og for pointing it out to me and caine for everyone else =)

LOL! Did OG start in one of the mini-towers??? I thought my position was bad, with only 3 neighbors, didn't see any that could be worse, but if the map-dude didn't #nostart the stations.... Guess there's room for some improvement on this map, albeit I think the concept is great.

no, he did nostart the mini-towers and any provinces adjacent to them. I have no idea where og started. In my games ive found you can start with as little as 2 adjacent provinces though, which can be a little hard on you.

Really? I scanned through a lot of the map looking for that, didn't notice any - did notice (and in the game, got) land provinces with only 3 land neighbors vice the usual 4 or 5, but 3 neighbors tends to be enough to be okay.

2 neighbor provinces ought to be nostarted though.

You used ringworld?!? That map is cool but the terrain is very bad. Too many sections that are all wastes or plains. It is really easy to get a bad start.

Hello,

New turn is waiting. Actually has been for 12 hours, but the forum was broken last evening.

Good luck everyone!
