MP: EA game - Dreams of Ghatanothoa (Finished - Winner Tratorix with Sauromantia)

[jimbojones1971]

If we use rusty nails, be sure to grab v4 of the map (Calahan has spent quite a bit of time tidying up the map).

With the water we can either:
* Have no water nations; or
* Make the underwater spaces into "dead seas" (no income, no sites).

Given that the newer CBMs mean you can get decent waterbreathing stuff from Construction 2 onwards, I'd favour the first option (leave the map as-is, but have no explicitly water breathing nations).

But really, I am happy either way.

Leaving the map as is would give Agartha a bit of an advantage, since they're amphibious. But on the other hand, they're EA Agartha, which probably balances that advantage out.

Welcome to the game tratorix. Now we are one player short of 10 players.

Olpe - what don't you like about the map? Also I would appreciate your proposal of a good map, if the only suggestion so far doesn't meet your expectations.

Good points Jimbo - the plan is to play without water nations as the first post indicates. I like to have some water provinces so that nations like Fomoria and Vans can use their national advantages like ocean sailing. I'll use Calahan's v4 fix if we end up using this map.

The map looks just fine to me. There are only a few water provinces so I don't mind it.

Starting locations are random? Tested couple of times and start provinces were totally different. That's ok but theres chance to start in swamp/waste etc.

Is there any version with locked home provinces to 10 player or should somebody do one?

Otherwise map looks very nice to me.

When we get a moment, someone should check to see if the less desirable provinces have been set to prevent being used as starting provinces. If so, then the random aspect is likely to be less of a problem. (I can have a check in about six hours, when I am home)

Good point SirJope!

Jimbo - if you could check the map and disable some starting provinces that would be great! And if you have a lot of time to spare.. it would be really good to select fixed starting provinces. Thanks!

Gurthang - unfortunately Niefelheim is already taken (I've written the picked nations to the first post). If you want to join with some other nation just look the first post and select one which is not taken.

I'll wait for Gurthangs answer and then start the game to Llamaserver. Please desing your pretender in advance and remember NOT to put a password for him. (It's easier if someone has to quit and we have to find a sub)

If there is still room, I would join as Niefelheim

Hey Sirjope, its considered against the rules to send one guy to block an army every turn.

[Tmoe]

Out of general interest, what are these rules that ghoul31 is talking about and where can I read about them?
