Default Re: Checking interest for a large(ish) scale game.

Well, you asked for opinions so I'll strongly discourage you from a 30 province/player map. You mentioned you wanted a large game - even if you just get 10 players you're talking about a 300 province map. The game will run for a long time and people's RL circumstances will change and you'll lose them (and it won't be easy to find subs for a game like this). Even the ones that stay will likely be put off by the micromanagement hell of a large scale late game.

You mentioned you were new to Dominions so my suggestion is to reach the late game in a couple of 8-10 player games (15 provinces/player average) and see what your tolerance for micromanagement is. It may be exceptionally high, but if you can handle the late game micro in a game like you're describing you're definitely in the minority.
