Urraparand is good, i never played this map and i like wraparound.

Even the 150% money multiplayer suggesstion of the map works fine for us.

I think we should use a random no water map because water provinces cut down on possible independent/buffer expansion.

I've run a few tests on the map with 10 nations 9 provs each and we get stuffed together quick heh..

I did tests too, 10 nations needs 90 provinces and there are only 60 left. I had no nation without any neutral provinces as neighbour. I'm not sure this works with every random map.

Maps without water are probalby boring. No strategic points, just land after land after land.

I vote for random with no water.

I tend to agree with calmon on this one. Additionally, I think that water provinces might actually result in better distributions of starting provinces for all nations. Since no one else has voted this makes it 3-2 in favor of Urraparrand.

I have sent the map to Sheap (a trusted 3rd party and experienced dominions player) to place capitals and add Sages. That way I wont have any foreknowledge of the positions.

Game will begin Saturday or Sunday night, depending on how fast you guys get your pretenders in. I've zipped up the mods for this game and attached them to the first post in the thread. Make sure you have them enabled before you create your pretender!
