What is the verdict on an NAP? The noobs so far seem to think we would be best served without it. I know my settings tend toward quicker hostilities, but I've my heart set on em.
Hmm, the only other way to delay hostilities would be to use an even wider version of Hoplo's map, with starts very, very, very, far apart. But the having the water does provide an interesting strategic element for capable nations such as Ermor, Agartha, or Shin. So onward!! We've done the best with the map we can, onward towards a very action packed game!
