thats right- we did have to restart. i had not opened my first start position so i had hardly noticed but that does seem to ring a bell.

We should re-upload a new map with a 'no start' tag on that island.

I've restarted it. Hopefully no one is on an island now.

Sorry, but the starting place for Patala means a big disadvantage, as I´m on province 85 with only 3 neighbouring provinces.
I´d suggest to use another map or fixed starting positions.

Cheers, Klaus

I hate to be overly vocal here, but that's ridiculous. There's a big disparity between a land nation stuck on an island with NO neighbors, and your situation.

If people are going to be that picky, at least do the legwork of finding or creating a map with the required parameters rather than expecting others to figure it out for you.

i'm not sure whats wrong with only 3 provinces as neighbors either. Can you explain the problem? You won't get enough resources?

Exclamation Re: I Would Be Sovereign - Newbie-intermediate game 8/8 - Game started!

Fungalreason,

that´s not an appropriate style to talk to me. Obviously I´ll suffer from a lack of resources from the beginning. That means a decisive disadvantage.

However, I really dislike to be treated like that.
If you want to play that style, count me out.

Cheers, Klaus

Well now, no need for arguments.

This is supposed to be a friendly enough game. This means one of two things.

Either:
a) We take our time in choosing the right map so everyone will have a start they're satisfied with
or
b) Since it's not totally competitive(being a newbie friendly game) people will accept inferior starting positions. I know for a fact that Klaus is a good enough player that he'd do well enough compared to a total newbie with 5 neigboring provinces.

What is this fuss about Ulm and Chelms.
Im in as Ulm, but i did not receive an email that the game has started.
How ulm is entirely gone ?
I think we should create a NEW game (name) entirely, with a proper map.

Some other person must have sent in a pretender for man in your place. Don't do that, whomever you are!

I'm going to join or host a different game. This doesn't appear to be exactly what I was looking for. Good luck to you all!

Okay, it seems that things are a bit confusing here, so I'll completely restart the game, so that everyone has to send their pretenders again. So, the mysterious Man pretender should post here if he wants to join, in case fungalreason decides to leave.

As for the map, does anyone have a suggestion for a map that's balanced enough for our purposes?

Sorry for the delays people.
