I liked how the lords of creation maps worked out so far. It was very cramped on the sides, with the enemy capitals very close at your sides, but quite a lot of room to expand towards the middle, giving you the extra headache to decide how far to keep expanding - risking to leave your flanks undefended for your close neighbours.

I do agree it is more of 'an intresting change of pace' rather than a 'standard' map you'd want to use time and again though.

I'm very fond of Rim of Darkness but I guess you knew that.

I do think it's probably best suited to a few less players though (perhaps someone should have gone in the middle?).

I'd really feel sorry for someone starting in the middle in a Rand game. I think your only hope if you're in the middle is diplomacy

Hmm, if you use the LlamaServer (and are not me), it is actually a little tricky to watch the game. You could periodically redirect a nation's e-mail address to your address, request a resend so you get their turn, and immediately change it back. But it's a bit fiddly. So probably it would be easier but less fun to host. Anyway, entirely up to you.

Pasha, I think Anticipatiant might have an idea...

IF noone knew who was in the game then they couldn't tell if they where up agianst a Noob or a real vetern.

It would also ensure (although I would guess most here ar honorable anyway)there would be no communication between factions.

It just sounds REAL intriguing...

Just draw names out of the air if someone (me for example doesn't make it then there is always the next time.

Just a thought, anyway YOU wanna do it is fine with me

A BLIND game would be fun. It's just different than RAND.

I will start a new thread in about a couple of weeks to get this game going, etc.

Blind would be RAND but where no one even knows who the other players are.
