OK it came up again in another thread. It might be time for more people to jump to the first post in this thread and vote in the poll.
The excellent maps done by targa and tiltowait. When asked what size map to do next people said large. I got excited because I also want large but apparently I dont want the same large that they want. I know I keep harping on this but "large" is such a variance. (personally I put my vote in for huge)
Karan is 162 land and 20 water.
with 17 players thats 10 independent provinces each. The game allows a "starting number of provinces" setting maxxed at 9 each
Orania is 259 land and 20 water
17 per land player, 10 per water
The maximum number of provinces is 500.
If 450 land and 50 water thats alittle more than 25 for each player before forcing war. So is 200-250 going to be considered a "large" map?
If so then ...
300 is huge?
400 is epic?
500 is insane?
Ok I want to change my vote to insane.
I totally understand its not likely to be done anywhere near as nice as that wonderful Karan map which is why I spend alot of attention on the DomMap Random Map Generator project.
