I suppose we might use just the pretenders and scales, but I'm not eager about distributing the files, complicating things. Fortunately, I DO have those files on my drive... but I'm not eager about it. In the end though, I'm certainly not playing in yet another game. Don't have the time. So with technical issues out of the way, my opinion is the last to matter on this subject. I could upload a zip with the files... that'd eliminate the 'complication'
Barring someone pitching in otherwise, I'm all set to go with Cradle. It may be a big map, but with difficult reasearch (and indy 4 hopefully preventing early dropouts), I'm not concerned. It'll be a lot more troop heavy than usual, I suppose. I may custom tweak the placements after I get that text file from you.
And why do I suspect that you want no independents simply so you can pick on archer-less nations?
