Default Re: Chandrea?

Sure, no problem. My problem is my PhD Thesis, which needs to be finished real soon, which delays my work on the map. My main problem therefore is the lack of time for testplaying...

However, I am considering the following further things before releasing it:

* Cities are the key of this map, especially if playing with victory points (two per city, one per many site province, 38 total - should help dominion kills, BTW). So in addition to boost defense by feudal poptype, I am thinking about adding one or two mage commanders to each city.

* I am pretty unsure about the sailing routes. The shipping lines are there to connect the islands for nations that cannot cross water easily, but the shipping lines also improve the capabilites of flyers greatly. Not sure if I should add or remove some shipping lines

As for the starting locations: The map was intended for crowded 6-10 player games. Using the cities as starting provinces spreads things out neatly, since capitals are never placed adjacent. I will ask my friends who did a 4 player game about suitable starting locations for a team game...
(maybe I should erase this post so that I do not clutter your game thread and place it into the map thread were it belongs...)

Its nice to know that someone is using the stuff one has done! Have fun with it and tell me were it needs tweaking. PM me when you are going to start in the case that I could not manage to finish it by then...
