I assigned people to teams at random, which seemed fair - I tried to use the six strongest teams, so if anyone wants to trade for a team not-in-use, that's fine by me.

And I'd be happy to put together an e-mail game with the same map, but I don't have time to do two of these games at once.

Here's the layout I'm aiming for.

There will be a body of water in the middle - R'lyeh will start in it. Man (R'lyehs ally) will start on the coast near R'lyeh.

The amphibious nations (and Marignon, since it can sail) will start on the coast. That's Ermor, Patala, Mictlan and Atlantis, all of which have amphibious troops, and Marignon, which at least has boats.

The other nations will start close to their allies, but towards the edge. This is a wheel-with-spokes arrangement that I think is fair, and helps to maximize conflict.

I'm trying to avoid giving any of the six start positions an above average hinterland, and I'm trying to arrange all this without going above 250 provinces (that's a little over 20 per player.)

Just don't set me (Pythium) too far from my ally Marignon. I have no interest in the sea, but don't want to be too far from him.

Baseless fear mongering... I'd invite people to take a close look at the one team comprised completely of grade AA nations...

What is the exact start date/time?
Anyone know?
It would help with my planning a little.
