[GrudgeBringer]

Well, after looking at all the spots I have the choice of being in the dead middle of about 3 players or have no fertile provinces (guess thats what you get when you pick last).

Thanks for helping me Chris and for pointing out the starting positions marked on the mao in the forum AOE.

I D/L the map but really never looked at the one on the forum.

I DO like the idea of picking first nation, but would hAVE to go with an Ashod or Hinnom to rusg someone and I really am not that good of player.

I will sit this one out and watch it and be prepared for the next one....

Thanks for waiting for me and I'm sorry if I set you back.
