Allegiances 2 (Large,Team-Based Game, PLAYING)

[Velusion]

I know I would be jealous of the SE corner if I started up north.

What about something like the attached? (my suggestions in green). I'd be happy to get anyone of those positions...

(I guess I usually take into account that bigger sized provinces usually have a higher population as well...)

Only issue with that setup is that the westernmost start doesn't have enough neighbors.

Simple solution, I will give it more neighbors.

I'll institute a pass through that western mountain range, and use these starts instead - let me doublecheck them in my script after adding that neighbor.

Good idea.

Nice job on the map, both of you, Vel's starts look pretty solid, and DrP came up with a nice template to work off of (along with patching in the mountain pass). So, thanks from a lazy player with no patience for map-gen =)

Okay, I fudged a couple of those starts over a province in one direction or another in order to give some of the others at least five land neighbors. Not a drastic shift in any case.

I also added an automatic Iron Mine in a few provinces, represented by the school of mines logo, so that all the capitals end up with roughly equal resources (it was heavily skewed in favor of the starts with more neighbors,) and I eliminated a waste province from the far west but didn't bother with other waste provinces since those starts generally have more space to grow (according to the computer which isn't fooled by appearances).

So, Velusion: assign each team to a color (Red, Yellow, Green, Cyan, Blue or Magenta) and I will put them in place.

The final version of the map is attached, this is all you will need to play - I'll send Velusion the map file after he assigns teams to colors and we can start!
