Re: Byleswar (NO VACANCIES - Send your Pretenders!)
 

Hehe, thanks for squeezing me in. Here's a post from the llamaserver FAQ that explains how to send in pretenders:

Crucially, you must have the game name in the subject line of your e-mail

Just want to point out that Aran is a pretty smallish map isn't it? For 9 players and no water nations we're going to be VERY close to each other.

Which doesn't bother Niefel much, but something to consider.

Re: Byleswar (NO VACANCIES - Send your Pretenders!)
 

Aran has 96 land provinces, so that's a little over 10 provinces per player. A bit smaller than I would normally like, but still within the realm of what people play in. Not that I would necessarily mind a change, I've had something against Aran ever since a certain horrible defeat I suffered.

Re: Byleswar (NO VACANCIES - Send your Pretenders!)
 

10 land per player means that caps will likely be within 3 of each other.

Again, nothing against this in particular, but for a n00bie game it may not allow everyone to fully get into it.

Especially considering some of the rush nations signed up.

Re: Byleswar (NO VACANCIES - Send your Pretenders!)
 

This is pretty much true.

Hi Players,

Point taken. I'd like to allow people to explore some of the researchy/crafty stuff before getting overrun. How about Cradle of Dominion? Objections?

I do not object to cradle, though if you want a map with more options for contact look at 'the 8 gates' or something like that. Play either the version with empty nodes, or with boni at the nodes, they both offer something different.

Re: Byleswar (NO VACANCIES - Send your Pretenders!)
 

No objections to Cradle of Dominion here.

Re: Byleswar (NO VACANCIES - Send your Pretenders!)
 

I've changed the map to Cradles of Dominion which should give people a bit of breathing room to start with (plus it looks nicer).

Re: Byleswar (NO VACANCIES - Send your Pretenders!)
 

good idea, no objection here!
