which rusty nails version? calahan's v4?

Re: Initiative: EA game- sign-ups closed. Game in preparation.
 

Good question- is that the one thats listed as 'dreams' under the map list on lamaserver or do i have to upload one?

I think dreams will work since we are ten land nations and one water nation. The ten land nation will get the assigned start positions but the water nation should start in a standard random water province. I think this is fine....


so i guess i'll use dreams.

"Plane of Rusty Nails- Dreams

143 land + 12 sea.
Fixed start positions: 10 land starts and 0 sea starts.
Note that sea nations can still play on this map, they just won't have fixed start positions.

Version of the Plane of Rusty Nails (v4) for the EA game Dreams of Ghatanothoa, with 10 set starting positions (none in the water)."

I have just uploaded my 10L+1W Plane of Rusty Nails map to the llamaserver for you to use. Letting the Water nation start randomly is a very bad idea as they could either end up in the 2-province pond, or they could be directly neighbouring a coastal Land nation (as random starts do not interact well for Land-Water nation placing). Please use the 2nd upload, as the first one had an error in it which I remembered about the very moment I finished uploading it :doh:

You only need the original image file to use the map and play the game (which you can download from the map thread for this map). You do not need the .map file. If anyone wants the .map file then please PM me, but I won't post it because that allows players to know the starting location of other nations (although having the .map file won't matter much if you are having VP marked capitals)


Edit - I also recommend either turning off auto-start or putting a message on the llamaserver screen asking people to please sign-up on this thread before they join. As there have been a few cases recently of random people joining llamaserver games who were not on the sign-up list, resulting in games needing to be restarted. ie. causing hassle basically. (turning autostart off prevents the game starting until you know everyone who should be playing is playing)
