And, there we have it. It's up to the two teammates to decide which nation they will play. Once you decide, post the result here. If you have the option of a water nation, post ASAP, as that will effect Dr. P's map making task.

Also, should we make a new rule that Baalz can't play Mictlan? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Interesting. For the the two teams that have choices for the pair - what is the timing for those to be announced/determined? I assume it will be simultaneous?

Edit: cause otherwise Team 2 will just wait for Team 6 to declare what nations they are playing before deciding http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif

More questions:

How big is the map going to be? and

Can we get a commitment to the proportion of water provinces per water nation beforeplease?

Re: Allegiances 2 (Large Team-Based Game, RECRUITI
 

That's a good point, Velusion. Why don't we just have everyone PM me their nation choices, and I will post them all at once on the first page. Dr. P., I will give you a heads up, once I know if we need water provinces.

Map wise, Dr. P. can best answer, but I think last time we had 15-20 provinces per NATION? I'm sure we can have a commitment to a certain number of water provinces, once we know if we even need them.

Re: Allegiances 2 (Large Team-Based Game, RECRUITI
 

I was planning on (15-20)*14 ~= 250 provinces.

# of water nations, # of water provinces
0 - 1, 10
2, 25
3, 40

Re: Allegiances 2 (Large Team-Based Game, RECRUITI
 

How about 17 land provinces/land player and 15 water provinces/water nation.

(I just picked some fair numbers to get this rolling). Also how will the nations be placed on the map ? adjacent I imagine, but will the map be wraparound ? And in brief how will it look ?

Re: Allegiances 2 (Large Team-Based Game, RECRUITI
 

Well see I want a commitment to water provinces before we decide on what nations to play http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif. I'd hate for us to pick an all water team and there be something like 10 water provinces per water nation...

Re: Allegiances 2 (Large Team-Based Game, RECRUITI
 

Well, I was going to use the built in RMG to make a conventional flat map and arrange the start locations either in a ring on the outside or on pie slices, whichever was easier to fit, and depending on whether we have water nations or not.

I think that's too much water - if you allow the water nations to be near-average size without leaving the water, they are too powerful, imo.

OTOH, the more water players you have, the more water provinces/player you should have.

Re: Allegiances 2 (Large Team-Based Game, RECRUITI
 

That would be fine. I don't have a burning desire to play any of the four nations assigned so once I'm presented with final numbers on the water provinces I'll give my opinion to Thrawn as to which I think is the better deal and let him make the final choice.

Drpre if I understand your map idea I will have two neighbors that will border me. One that I will be allied with.
