I'm all for whichever era or mods - I'd like to try the Worthy Hero one especially. I suppose unfamiliarity with cb is a problem though, but hey, live and learn. Err, die and learn. So either way, as far as I'm concerned.
We all knew you won many turns ago, thejeff, don't be silly. heheheh
Regarding the Paraganos map, my gripe in that game is the clustered sorts of terrain - and my starting position was utter crap, easily steamrollered. I'm not sure what Edi 'fixed', but it sure wasn't starting position. We could always try, perhaps, a random map with slightly cranked up sites...? May take like ten map creations or so to get one that looks reasonable though. *shrug*
I've had the most fun with you guys in this game than in any other I've played, or am playing, so am willing to go with the Paraganos if ya'll decide to do so.
