Re: MP game - \"Pantheons\" Preliminary invite
Just to give some ideas for choosing size..
Here is an excerpt from "Map Thoughts"
For a player to capture all of the provinces around his castle as a buffer and for resources, we are probably looking at.. 5? There are 17 nations (at this time) so 5*17 would be 85 provinces. Actually, if you fairly consider the land and water nations then the best map should probably be 15*5 or 75 land provinces, and 2*5 or 10 water provinces, to a total of 85.
So if 5 provinces each at 75 land and 10 water is a small map, then what would be good sized for the others? I guess anything smaller than that would be a tiny map. Plenty of desire for those since many people only want to play with 2-4 nations at a time and dont want them to be too far apart. A small (85 prov) map would be quite a game for only 2 players.

It also has a link to a page where you can get random maps from tiny to epic sized. Not pretty but they are playable. (I can give some suggestions to pretty one if someone wants it)
