Apparently MadFrancis and I will be teammates.
There is a bit of concern, looking at this map. Is there really enough room for 2 nations in any of those start areas? You did say the map was "modified", but unless you modified it to greatly increase the province count in those little pockets, I foresee a lot of early game "friendly fire" Dominion kills.....
(EDIT - I think the Faerun map would be awfully nifty.....)
