Mega Game II-vote for map
 

Mega Game II sign ups will start May 1, and there will be a target of 60 players. Dr. P has informed me that he may not have time to make a tile map. So I have used RanDom to generate some, and Gandalf has made some. The two best from each of our efforts will be posted for viewing.

Let me know which map looks like the best one. The two trophy named maps are my creation.

Of course anyone wanting to make a better one can feel free.

The earliest date the game will start is May 15. There will be a sign up starting May 1, and the 1st 60 players will be taken. I will also take alternates, in case some players do not get their pretender selections in by the deadline.

Hopefully we can muster 60 again this summer for another Epic Game.

I like most the test900_11 map from gandalf, as the land goes around a sea in the middle, with a bridge in the midle.

Then the Trophy4 is also nice, but i would connect the seas together in a ring and make a bridge at the bottom of the map, so that there are nice possibilites for multfront wars.

The other maps are more ore less big parts of land and water around them.

and btw. thumbnails would be a good thing, as watching 30MB pictures load is not very entertaining http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/yawn.gif

I like the 11 map as well.

Re: Mega Game II-vote for map
 

OMG another mega game!

Re: Mega Game II-vote for map
 

All 4 are viable for a megagame but trophy and test900_11 look the best to me, I would pick 11 if I had to choose.

I like the sea nations being all together in a giant central ocean, hopefully stops them just sitting there and building up while carnage goes on amongst the land nations.

BTW, Gandalf has more 900 prov maps on http://www.dom3minions.com/RandomMaps/test900/

Re: Mega Game II-vote for map
 

Thanks Ich.

I viewed 25 of Gandalf's maps and chose 2. Regrettably, I did not think it wise to post 50 maps up for vote. The 4 I picked
had unique land or water areas, which is the reason they made the cut.

If Velusion, Dr. P, or any map expert makes a better one before the game starts, I will be thrilled to use it. But when Dr. P told me his map may not be done, I wanted to have a fall back map that was at least "pretty good, if not good." And I started on this map quest about 2 weeks ago, with Gandalf's help.

Does the map "test900_11" have a land bridge in the middle? If so then I choose that one.

The only problem with Gandalf's maps are the province borders being hard to see?

Re: Mega Game II-vote for map
 

Not sure, i need to get rgb file from gandalf. And i asked him to send me that one. It does not look to me like the bridge of land connects-though it could be made to do so. But the graphics for the province cannot be changed by any method
known to me. But i am graphically challenged.
