Indies at 5-6, everything else default except "renaming allowed", victory by VPs or 60-70% of provinces.

I find provinces to be more reflective, particularly at the 60-70% mark. VPs paint an annoying bullseye on your capitol visible from the beginning of the game, lessening the value of scouting, and tend to weaken the game by making it only as strong as the weakest link: If you only need 2 capitols out of the 5 or so players in the game, all you have to do is bury an unsuspecting newbie. Hardly even a real fight, since odds are his capitol won't be defended while his army is out in the field. Of course, in a REAL game, you'd probably fail to hold onto it.

Thanx for the feedback so far folks !

Here is our offer :

1) Nation (of all players)
2) AIS Difficulty
3) Nomber of Provinces (mapsize)
4) Strenght of indies (0-9)
5) Type of Victory

How about that ?

AI difficulty is kind of irrelevant: There are no AIs in multiplayer, except players that go AI, or some bizarre game where somebody would want AIs in the game...but why?

I have a question NORFLEET : So its not possible to set up a game of 4 Human Players and lets say 2 AI Players ?

Thats what i meant...

It's possible, but no-one does it. The AI is OK, but it can't compete with humans. So having them in multiplayer is just like handing an advantage to the lucky sods that get to start near them.
