Dont worry Zywack, if the game would turn out to be a total grind people will eventually just surrender to whoever. I dont think I have personally seen a game last longer than 85 turns or so. Though normally I have a rule to not play on maps larger than 200 provinces that I broke for this game.

As for wraparounds, they have both pros and cons. You get more even starting positions, but you also get a lot more fronts and neighbors witch means a lot more planning and diplo. It is kind of micro heavy.

Though there are wraparounds, like galaldia, that gets around this problem by making the map a bunch of interconnected islands to limit the amount of neighbors you can have.

Personally I prefer normal maps with fixed starting positions. Its the best of both worlds.


On this map I think C'tis was the one who got shafted the hardest by his start. He started only 1 province away from crazy-bless Atlantis and two provinces away from Marignion. His end came quickly.

Best starting positions were had by Patala, Caelum and Atlantis I think. Atlantis started one province away from a neighbor, But it was also his only close neighbor.
