Good to hear the game is up and running :-)

Haven't had chance to check out where I've started, but if 2 seperate groups of 3 players have started on top of each other, then I'd certainly vote for a re-start.

11 players on 'Cradle' should be plenty of space for everyone to have a decent start, even without a water nation. But it sounds like 3-4 players won't survive long enough to learn anything, or have any fun :-( And all us newbee's are here to learn and have fun right? :-)

I won't be able to get my turn done until tomorrow anyway (luckily for me it's 48hrs first turn) so a re-start might not be that big a delay at the end of the day.

(Edit) ps. If there is a re-start, we can give Darkstone another chance to get in if he still fancies it. As from his posts it looks like he's missed out through no fault of his own, and certainly not through lack of trying.
