thanks, cainehill.

I'm still trying to figure Pan out. I've only played Pan in my 4 MP games: have lost 2 games, am losing in another one (Ulm attacked me early on), and am one of 4 players left in another (my best showing so far, although I just got hit with a couple of 30 strength devil armies).

Players:

Me: Ryleh
Yellow Cactus: Mictlan
Bale Blackmoon: Marignon
Cainehill: Jotunheim
anatoli11: Vanheim
Legacyspy: Man
jeffr: Pangea
Jarkko: Arcoscephale

Also I believe Rob_Core is actually interested in playing, he's going to be Abyssia.

So, that's 9 players. All I have left to do is figure out what map to play on and set up the server. I'll do that tomorrow. Then we can start!

I'd like to play on Zen's Europe, but it says "water nations have a significant advantage" and I don't want to cherry-pick my own map. What do other people think?

Has anyone played on "Sea and Sky"? It looks pretty funky.

We could just play Karan, I guess. I need opinions.

Hmmm. Yeah, Europe really should have either 2 water nations or none.

Parganos is nice though; Sea and Sky (just looked at it) looks ... different, but may or may not be balanced. Also, too many water provinces compared to land, for a single water nation imo.

Karan - Karan Dry might be good, but not so much normal Karan, as the water nation can readily hit almost _any_ province because all lakes are connected and whatnot.

Myself, I'd recommend Parganos as first choice, Karan Dry as second, Sea and Sky 3rd (unless someone else can chime in with firsthand reports saying they've played it and it was balanced and good).

No no not not Karan, or desert Eye. If some one could show me where to get parganos I would be greatly interested.

Parganos (and a bunch of other great and/or popular maps such as Cradle of Dominion or Tyrande (which is great, but only for SP games - sites embedded in the map make it bad for MP games)) can be found here on Illwinter's site.

Gandalf and Arryn both have other sites with good maps, in Gandalf's case, a plethora of random maps that are regenerated anew daily.
