Turns out there's a problem with Crusade.dm, where Shrine of Sombre recruits unit 2890 instead of 2891. It probably wants fixing.

I don't know if that's an issue with the original mod pre-merge, or llamabeast's merging perl.

How are we going to handle diplomacy? Do we allow breaking NAP or not?

[llamabeast]

Well it's meant to recruit bog beasts, which is why it's called the Shrine of Sombre (Sombre always talks about bog beasts), and hence should be a land site. Unfortunately I don't have the DB here to check the unit numbers.

As for diplomacy I am all for Machiavellian, i.e. you can break NAPs if you want, and people cannot get annoyed with you as a player (although they can of course get annoyed with your nation and pretender!). It's up to Amonchakad to decide though.

2890 and 2891 are copies of the sea serpent and bog beast respectively - both are defined within the dm file. It's about 30 seconds' worth of fix - I could post up a corrected file if desired.

Also, I don't know if we're using legends or not, but I can tell you with 10+1, it was decidely cramped in my test games.

I don't mind - but others may ..

[Dragar]

i tested legends as well, start positions were pretty awful

[Aethyr]

I agree; perhaps a larger map would better?

[llamabeast]

Cradle is much too big IMO.

Land of Legends has 13 provinces/player, which is just about right. I would be against going for anything much bigger than 15 per player. It's also good in terms of the small sea. I haven't looked at the start positions though (though they can be fixed of course); one alternative might be elmokki's other map: http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/showthread.php?t=43180

Sorry guys,these 2 days I was really busy with my sister's birthday(she turned 18,was a big party); in about 6 hours everything's over here and I'll set everything up for the game

[Kietsensei]

Great I cannot wait to start this game
I don't mind playing on this map even if it may be crowded
