[Cor2]

I will take pangea, please

[Jazzepi]

I'd be interested in playing on just about any map but Aran.

I'd be interested in taking suggestions. Specific suggestions.

[Jazzepi]

Use the random map generator a couple of times till you find one that's nice. Bring it up in the map editor to clean up the links between territories.

I'd be happy to mess around making a map that way. Just tell me how many provinces per person you want. Also, what your maximum amount of water nations is.

[Lazy_Perfectionist]

As currently implemented, I loathe random maps. But since I won't be playing in the game myself, I'd go with a random map if general consensus was in its favor.

I appreciate the offer of you messing around with the map, and would happily take you up on the offer. While I haven't found the time, I'm interested in altering random maps, myself.

Just convince the other members to take up a random map, and then the two of us will hammer out the remaining details.

[Cor2]

Any map is fine with me, but i would prefer a non-random wrap-around map, like Cradle or whatever.

[Reverend Zombie]

Caelum here, please.

[dmentd]

How about Cradle? I know it is often used, but it is a good map.

[Lazy_Perfectionist]

Hmm... Cradle sounds a little large to me, for eight players, but I haven't been in too many games, so I'm not really basing that on anything in particular.

If no-one objects to 25-28 provinces per player, I'll go ahead with Cradle, though I don't know about it being wraparound. It'll be especially large if a player doesn't show up for the start.

That little warning aside, I have no problem letting Cradle be the map. I will make other suggestions just because I can.

The Desert Eye (Wraparound) was fun in Veturi.
A Poke in the Eye V3 (user created) is based on The Desert Eye with some insane independents. Probably not a wise idea.
A Pangaean Earth is (user created) is the right size, but the lack of chokepoints probably doesn't make for a good first map.
Parganos is a bit unbalanced, thanks to fairly uniform swathes of territory, but a map I like quite a bit, perhaps for that very same reason.

Anyways, the new default map, barring any objections, is Cradle. I'm curious, Jazzepi. What's your objection to Aran? Something particular to you, or something I should keep in mind while organizing future games?
