Default Re: request for MAP testing

OK I think Im going to have to give way to the wishes of the people. I'm referring to the WE vs THEM stronger AI's scenario, the Independents War, and the Mazes and Monsters scenario.

The ideas for these might be good but the epic map size I like might be too much. So I am considering re-working them into a different size map. The choices are:
TINY <5 each, or less than 85 total provinces.
SMALL 5 each, or 85 total provinces. Best done as 75 land and 10 water.
MEDIUM 10 each, or 170 total provinces. Best done as 150 land and 20 water.
LARGE 15 each, or 255 total provinces. Best done as 225 land and 30 water.
HUGE 20 each, or 340 total provinces. Best done as 300 land and 20 water.
EPIC 25 or more each, maybe to the maximum 500 total provinces. Something like 450 land and 50 water.
These sizes and other map factors are discussed in the MAP thoughts file at my (soon to be working) www.dom2minions.com site.

Comments? Requests? What size would be more playable? I suppose since its created by a program that it wouldnt be too hard to do a Version of each size eventually. But what would be a good starting point?
