		I would like to propose a new house rule: no pop-killing dominion.   Death-3 is fine if you want to take that but the really vicious pop-killing dominions of Ermor, Pan CW, etc, would be outlawed.  IMO they break the mechanics of war in dom2.  There is no incentive to attack a player like this because thier lands give you no income.

		Thanks for the invite fellas.  The team game I'm in is a lot of fun, though time is at a premium these days.  Maybe I'll catch the next one?

		May I suggest my "Parganos Remade" map, version v2 (attached ..) 
It features 135 provinces, 19 of which are water. 
Some of the borders are impassable, and marked as such on the map (weren't on the original map). TGA file is reworked to make colours generally more ... colourful   
I cut down on the number of provinces which multiple terrain features, in v2 even more. 
v2 has some additional bugfixes.
 
Hope we get everything together for a  Blitz Start on Sunday, the 6th

		Assuming we get a 6th player somehow, Parganos seems a bit big to me.  Just eyeballing it, that would be about 20 provinces per empire before any combat took place.  How about a map that is a bit smaller, that works out to say... 10-12 provs per player?  So 60-80 provs?  Does such a thing exist?   What do the other players think?

		I'd like to play. If you need another. 
 
I suggest random teams to make it a level playing field for those of us, who are rusty or new to the team concept. 
 
Then random order on nation picks, with symmetry for the teams as a whole. 
 
(i.e. team 1 picks first and last 
team 2 picks second and next to last etc.)
