Also, such setting is a pain for water nations as they get less provinces especially taking into account how water is distributed on Alexander. They'll have hard times, believe me.
IMO it is more fair either to have more land nations or only one water nation

True. Out of 44 sea provinces, 10 are not connected to main water body, and since EA Oceania is not in play (it can simply crush all other water nations easily and early), I would guess adding 2 players is the wise thing to do. Since we have one on waiting list, and if ano is interested, we shall have our two.
With 12 land players and 2 water players, we have 20.5 province/land player and 17 province(main water part)/water player. Water nations typically get less province/player since they can reasonably expand on land. This map is full of narrow passes. So 20 province is a lot, most people will not find enemy capital within 5 provinces from his capital.

This sounds reasonable. I dont mind adding two more. I won't if it will cause people to drop, otherwise I will make room for two more.

You want in? If yes, who might you play if there are no overriding objections from the rest of the group? |
