MP: YARG3, non newb MA+ENP2 RAND game. Executor's Ulm winner on turn 76

I like wrapped maps as they are much fairer.
Otherwise people at the corners and edges have a large advantage.

Orania is nice.

True, I'm also in favor of a wrap around map, but if we use Orania than the special sites in certain provinces need to be removed. Having known discount sites in a anonymous game is a very bad idea.

I agree. Sorry I didn't test this before. Is there a version w/o special sites? I will try my hand at removing them, but if there is someone who actually knows how to do it, I will gladly defer to you.

Why is it such a bad idea?- The OP sites have been taken care of by CBM. The rest shouldn't pose a balance problem nor infringe on anonymity.

That said, I'd have preferred random sites but I've no idea how to do it, nor would I risk the game with a last minute changed map.
If you, or anyone else, have a better idea I'm all ears. Until then I'd choose the lesser evil

Oh, I'm guessing these would be the offending sites:
#feature "Tempest Spire"
#feature "Forest of Golden Leaves"
#feature "Blizzard Valley"
#feature "Academy of the Crescent Moon"
#feature "Moon Mages Circle"
#feature "Dragon Jaws"
#feature "Standing Stones"
#feature "Silver Forest"
#feature "Red Forest"

I don't know, are they that bad?- Every player can either set his sights on any of them or not, they are fair game after all.

I didn't realize cbm automatically nerfed the big sites. I guess I should pay closer attention.

As for the rest, knowledge is power!

LOL, would be extra fun to watch ppl go at each other's throats to get to those sites.

I just noticed that they're also visually marked on the map so noon can miss them muhahahaha

I think that was the point of adding them in the first place.

WL, in my test game I have Oak of Ages in the Oak of Ages province.

I think cbm does not weed it out because it is hardcoded in the .map file. Has anyone else tested on the map? That province will be a bloodbath for sure. Unless I missed an update somewhere.

i m not yet a vet but i did pretty well in my first games. (i even managed to win one ) thanks to a lot of sp practicing.

So if you think i have the required level i d be glad to join.
Concerning the votes,if i m in, i m fully for the random nations, i don t mind about water nations and i d vote for the Westeros map which looks pretty nice.

[mockingbird]

I would also be in favor of leaving out the water nations.
