Would be possible to find some kind of compromise map? Last time was around 7 provs per player, the current selections are I think around 20. Maybe something like 14 per player?
Also, I disagree about reducing the odds, I think 2 vs 1 is fine, especially on a bigger map than last time.

QM, some players saw action and some did not, I was forced to place 15 players on a tiny map, largely attempting to accomodate yourself and the vets. I think the prov/player ratio is fine and will tend toward what I had originally intended, a longer playing game.
I was upset with the last game, because it was totatly not what I wanted, but went along for everyone else's sake. I am willing to compromise, though, if there is absolutely no other alternative. I urge you, and the any other vets on the fence, to go ahead and join us, and not fret about the prov/player ratio.
Btw: do we have a new version of CBM compatible with the latest update to Dominions? |
I appreciate you went with the flow last game, and for what it's worth I thought it worked great with the small map. I mean, yes, it was over fast but it was lots of fun and I think at worst the smaller map called for a less extreme noob to vet ratio. The one problem is as you say some nations not making it to the front lines, but that's more function of the particular map than the size.
Current CB should work with the newest patch, there is also a good chance I'll release a new version before this game starts.
