I agonized a great deal over placement to be fair to both sides, as there were two continents, the noobs were placed on the larger one and the vets on the smaller one, I wouldn't say that anyone was "surrounding" anyone else.
I've always been in favor of larger maps with delayed hostilities as I detest the rush mentality. If the vets feel that they won't be able to retain the advantage in a longer playing game with a majority of green noobs, or feel 3:1 is too much we certainly won't do it.
