I also back the calls for not having single age, and keeping high Indy's and tougher research.
@ WraithL - If we go EA on the Glory map and 24 nations, then for the water nations, you'll probably have to make sure we either get the full 24 players, or ensure whoever rolls the nations that all three water nations are assigned. As there's an awful lot of water on offer. Plus on Glory I'd assign (or I will assign with your approval) all the Eastern waters as no start, since the Western sea is too big for just two water nations IMO (especially if the land nations are only having a map average of around 10-11 provinces each).
I'll try and find some time today to browse the map section to see if there are any alternative maps to consider.
@ Isokron - Congrats on a fine win. You're certainly proving yourself to be one tough ombre from the three games I've played with you so far. Looking forward to another tangle here
And maybe RL will allow me to fight you as well this time instead of annoyingly intervening to spoil the fun
