We're gonna need a bigger map.

Asia Twist only has starts for 16 land nations, so how about PashaDawg's Epotara?

It's got 292 land for the 20 land nations (14.5 each), and a 16-province ocean for R'lyeh to start in.

Sounds very good vfb, I'll check it out it out later today. It also seems that we got an all-nations LA game here.

I'd like to hear if anyone objects to Epotara as map.

Im afraid I am going to have to drop out of this game before it even starts

my computer broke down Sunday evening and it will likely be at least another week before I can get it mended.

Not enough ocean to go around. In addition to Rlyeh, all of Atlantis, Mictlan, Jomon, and probably Agartha and Ermor want a piece of the UW action. If Rlyeh is going to even have a chance it'll need more space. I'd shoot for 25-30 total ocean provinces.

I'd also aim for more like 250 total provinces. Yeah, land will be crowded. It will make the eventual end-game less painful, however.

Edit: AoM Orc is about the right size. Alexander is on the large side, but better land:water balance. Glory of Gods (multiplayer) is about right. Multilayer Map just looks awesome, probably a little large. World of Symmetry is the right size (although i dislike the hex-style for this game).

As long as everyone agrees to take me out of the game before I have to deal with more than 30 provinces, then that map's fine. Otherwise I'm still a fan of smaller maps.

Ferrosol: Sad to see you go, but I understand.

Graeme Dice: Well, 20-nation game, there's bound to be lots of provinces. 15 isn't even on the huge side yet (I think medium setting is 15 prov per player)

We seem to have a free spot for Pythium if anyone wants in. I'll give time for someone to fill in to be Pythium if anyone is interested and if no-one objects to the map by tomorrow, I'll host the game on llamaserver then.

Here you have your volunteer

Welcome in Ossa

I'd also like to hear if people need a slowdown/whatever for thanksgiving (Which I believe is on this thursday), as we presumably have a couple of players from US.

Anaconda · #9 November 23rd, 2009, 02:20 PM

Thanksgivin' is no slowdown, it's national holiday so it's accelerator!? First 50 rounds during thursday and friday?

Where I can download the proposed map?

I should have responded sooner, but I won't be near my computer on Thursday (Thanksgiving). I think we may be ready to go today, so is there any way we could do a relaxed sort of start, or just have first turn due Fri eve? NY is GMT-5
