MP: NEWBIE GAME - EA - Stumble onwards to Victory! [STARTED 12/12 REMAIN]

[Lunaje]

What's the map's name? The link doesn't work for me.

- Not a problem anymore. Got it from the created game at llamaserver

So, when we say "default" these days, does that mean independent strength of 5?

Hi Matty and Comrade, nice to see some familiar faces.

Peacekeeper, good choice mate, Arco rocks...cough cough.

In my capable hands I am getting soundly trounced in a current MP game and two others I am in, Arco is running dead last.

Good luck bro, you might need it.

[Angry_Hominid]

No worries man with the change... arco it is

[Angry_Hominid]

Independent strength is 5 yes, as with everything im happy to change any settings as I havent done this before...

[HoleyDooley]

Ah I see Keith is back as well having another bash at Hinnom.

Better luck this time mate. I am steering clear of them, they certainly take an advanced knowledge of the game to do well with.

Great commanders, almost SC in their build, but they piss the population off no end!

[Peacekeeper]

after looking at the map im having doubts with it. While at first look it should be 20 provinces per person, it has 13 set starting positions on land, so really it will be less for most and a lot more for a lucky few.

[Calahan]

There is another version of this map that I did with fixed starts for 12+1 nations (so that's 12 Land starts and 1 Water start). So if you are going for 12 nations, then this second version will be much better than the 13+1 version which you are currently using.

But of course you will have problems if anyone picks a water nation, as if only 11 land nations start then some nations are going to have a lot of room to expand into where the missing nation would have been (and will get a big advantage compared to nations in other areas. As pointed out above by Peacekeeper)

The link for the 12+1 version is here

and on the llamaserver it's just below the map currently selected for this game (it's called "Riverlands for 12+1 (Andalusian Sun - The Restart")

[Angry_Hominid]

Ok change made to the 12+1 version of the map.... nobodies gone water so no issue there .

Would it be possible to resubmit the pretender? I'm thinking that my design was inefficient and could use some fairly major improvement.
