.com.unity Forums - Mega Game II-vote for map

I have decided we are going to use t4 map. Gandalf gets credit for producing the most popular map of the voters, but Dr. P is going to start work making the map a wraparound and a decision had to be made.

There were 2 primary reasons for it, the first being i could not edit gandalf's map(due to my own ignorance i am sure) on the dominions map editor. While I could manually adjust terrain etc using wordpad and the map file, for 900 provinces that is a bit much.

Second: I really did not want to see a repeat of Mega Age I game, or another game I am in, where one of the few water races becomes a world power, through clams, globals etc without ever coming on land to fight.

900-11 ran the risk of the winning water race having 6 capitals and 100 provinces without ever having faced the turmoil that the land races must face. You will see what I mean as 15 land races will be dead by turn 30, and likely all of the 6 water races will still be there expanding against indies.

That is what occurred in Mega Age I, and on t4 the water races still likely avoid the early rushes facing the land nations, but if they want a dominant position, they will have to go on land and fight for it. Though large bodies of water exist in t4 as well.

I have placed the 6 water nations, and la Marignon and La Atlantis. While the map will not have a north/south wrap,
there will be 2 provinces that connect via wormhole/magical means. One of these provinces is on the south border, and one is on the north.

Dr. P has said he will do significant work on the map, and he will in return be the only player that gets to select his own race. He has made his selection: Niefelheim
