Anyone keeping track of how many people have signed up?

I am not a new player, but I have a friend who is, and if you don't mind having an experienced-but-not-generally-successful player, we'd be interesting in joining as a team. Assuming the other game parameters work for us. Mostly, early era, and a slower pace after 15ish turns.

Yeah, that is a great map. King of the Hill style with 1 province with victory point. Nice indie garrisons and so on. For 10 land and 2 water nations. But I don't know how it would be with dividing start locations with teams to make it fair.

djo:

How many games have you played? I think that newbie has max 5 games played, not including blitz ones. And I think that game will be MA.

Apparently it's easy to edit a map file to give specific start locations - if one were to do that with WoG, team members could start in adjacent niches. All the start positions seem about equal.

Gregstrom:

The problem is that there are 5 on north and 5 on south, so to make it fair teams should start in the opposite side, not next to each other [cause you can't divide 5 by 2].

D'oh! Serves me right for not thinking. That is awkward - especially as they'd be separated by the more easily united water nations.

[Edit] Or of course 2 teams could be one land and one water nation. That'd work, I think...?

Well, that would work. But I don't know if it is fair and if any people would want that. I am not experienced enough to judge it.
