Good nough. Tuning back down to default.

The real reason I suggested these two settings was because I was curious how it would turn out. Really, the R'lyeh thing was really just a crappy way of rationalizing this.

As for offensive, I apologize. I hadn't intended it to be, and my brain is functioning at half-capacity right now, thanks to a confused sleep schedule.

i'm in, my preferences would be R'lyeh, Mictlan or Marignon.

[Lazy_Perfectionist]

No proplem, we can fit you in, Janlm.

Though, you're all just figments of my imagination! Weeeee.

... well, that's it for tonight. I might as well enter the Dreamlands, because they're entering me. See ya'll tomorrow.

I'd like to try out LA Ermor. Failing that, Pangea and then Patala.

I would like to join as Patala. (Ermor and Pangaea as second and third choice if needed)

It's okay. It just came off badly. I would recommend you stay with default settings until you have more experience. I think it's more interesting to tinker with the defaults once you've got a good grasp of how those effect the game.

You should balance the water nations power using the number of water provinces available. As a rule of thumb I belive a water nation should have 3/4 water provinces for each land province for a land player - So if you aim for 20 land provinces/land nation, give 15 provinces water/water nation. The water provinces should be connected to each other.

Since Rlyeh is the only water player you should not make the water mass huge in this game - I cannot stress how important this is. I got LA Rlyeh with a huge water mass in discordia and the game has not been much challanging this far.

Is Cradle of Dominions playable with 18 nations? It was the first one I considered, but it said for 8 to 10 nations.

The second map I considered was the standard 'Glory of the Gods', but I realized 122 sea provinces are too much unless we managed to find mod water nations.

The third map I considered was the multiplayer version of 'Glory of the Gods'. On one hand, there are 47 water provinces, but they at least are not one contiguous body of water. Though I'd feel better about having just two amphibious nations if I could carve up the western body of water into smaller, separate parts. Or if there's any balanced amphibious LA underwater mod nations... Unfortunately, that Oceania mod is only in the conceptual stage.

Advice on maps?
I suppose I could go looking through some dominions 2 maps, but I still need an eye for what I'm looking for.

CoD is playable with 18 players. It will however be an agressive game since we are all a bit cramped space wise early on - expect and prepare for rushers if we play this map
