Re: Chandrea?
Sorry for interrupting your thread, but since you are thinking about using my Chandrea map:
I have a revised version of Chandrea almost ready - if you are interested, you can have the files right away as they are currently! I will be reachable for the next couple of hours. However, the revision requires a revised .tga file as well (a concern if you are using a slow internet connection).
The changes so far are:
- 3 fixed neighborships
- the big water province with the logo has been split into two, limiting water movement a bit
- bridges are kept as small provinces, but their neighborship is limited to land provinces now
- terrain changes: one more swamp and waste each instaid of plains
- defaultmapzoom added
- every city now has a feudal population
- every city now has an Iron Mine, Otzburg has a mine of superior Iron
- starting positions are restricted to the cities for land dwellers
The second and third tries to reduce the importance of water movement a little bit.
The last two address the problem that there are simply not enough resources on all those large farmland cities. (Note that starting locations will ignore the large/farmland flag, but will have the added iron mine.)
So if you want the revised files, use the private messaging of this board to tell me an email address where I should send the files to (5MB) since I cannot put them on a server myself.

As for placing: I did not follow your discussion closely but wrap around west-east is far smaller than north-south, so horizontally placing allies might be sensible... Note further that the big island is somewhat divided by the mountains, I am currently thinking of dividng it even more...
