Re: Andean Zorro = MA; diff research/VP victory -
well starting positions are nothing less than goofy. if this were standard victory they would be absolutely dubious. however, since it is capturing caps, the knot of players in the north and center may not at the huge disadvantage too the players all by themselves in the southern and eastern corners.
the players off by themselves have lots of land easily available to them, but all those players close to each other have the capitals easily available. Kind of hard to say to say whos really at the advantageous postion.
what's everybody think?

Re: Andean Zorro = MA; diff research/VP victory -
i agree kheldron. lets just play.
though i cant help trying to speculate on how it might work out. there are enough factors though that I think it could go anyway very easily. Plus diplomacy has that tendency to be the great equalizer. Any inherent advantage is balanced out by the diplomatic disadvantage that player will have to face from a map of wary players.

Re: Andean Zorro = MA; diff research/VP victory -
Alpaca had somewhat goofy start positions on Cradle as well (also with 10 players), but ended up being a really good game.
The best way round this issue is to hand-place starting positions, but that's actually really quite hard work. Generally games with goofy start positions end up being very fun regardless.

Re: Andean Zorro = MA; diff research/VP victory -
well fun is most important. and I think it looks like this will be a fun game.
now lets all declare war on that guy in province 195. corner postion and closest player is like 9 steps away. it will be mid game before anyone can reach him, but he better watch out when we do.

Re: Andean Zorro = MA; diff research/VP victory -
Fun is good I think a strong player in the center, especially a bless pretender, will do well...

Re: Andean Zorro = MA; diff research/VP victory -
All
Great to see the game is finally up and running :-) My thanks to Omni and llama for getting this done so that we can all enjoy :-)
Now the (slight) bad news, I'm not going to be able to submit my first turn until tomorrow as I'm away with work all day. So my apologies in advance for being the person who holds up the first turn.
And btw, I think it's a great idea that the first turn is set to 48hours! :-)
