Although I will say that especially since this is a newbie game, if anyone has less than 3 provinces adjacent to their capital or are less than 3 provinces away from an opponent, we may want to restart. That said, I have 4 adjacent to mine, and I'm fine with that.

I didn't think of that, I will abide the results of the vote. The one reason I don't want a restart is simply it will add much more time to get going. Sorry if I seem testy but I spent my morning waiting for some action and got one lousy turn in. I'm in five games and no motion whatsoever. Lesson one learned, don't wait for a game, it will happen v e r y s l o w l y. The one game that it didn't happen was the best, "dark paradise". I died early...

I have one major problem and that is, I CAN'T STOP JOINING GAMES, I'm in 7 games and starting 1 more!
So this is probably going to be a very very fast game ( I'll win of course ) with these starting provinces, but what the hell WAR ON!!!
We'll make BlitzKrieg 2 when we finish this one too fast!

I have 2 provinces (not including the capitol) which are both wasteland and a very small island with another 'good ol boy' on it.

since I just played my second turn I guess i'm stuck with it.

I just wanted to know if it was random generated so that I would know what to expect in future games.

I plyed SP with this same group 4 times to see how the races would start and in 3 of 4 they all started in pretty much the same place.

This time they where almost 180 opposite.

I will live and learn so that next time I will adress this before we start.

If you want to start over, GREAT.....but I don't see that happening now.

So good luck and take pity on a poor begger if he stops by and asks for a gold piece to feed his pitiful little army of militia because thats all he can afford (sigh)....

I wouldn't if this game lived up to its name. My scales aren't the best you've ever seen, which typically means I'm best suited to a quick to medium length game.

Hey, if you are screwed that much grudge, I will change my vote. So in this case I change my vote to restart.

It it random generated, never really occurred to me to set up starting provinces, but I guess it's too late now, and if it's any consolation I also started in the waste Grudge, just hope nobody's near me or they're suffer a terrible fate, a swift death by my hand.

So Bwaha Grudge and I are for restart should we???
If we do restart, do we use the start locations I suggested, and anticipatient I also wanted this game up and running as fast as possible, but with my luck, my life is basically turnmoil 3 misfortune 3!
