Inland seems popular for advanced/expert games - not too big, even playing field for everyone because of the wraparound and rather uniform layout. Although it's not really suited if both Atlantis and R'lyeh are in.
Is there any reason Inland would be unsuitable for newbies?
None that I can see.

In the ingame description Inland says it'll handle 10-15 players - does it still provide a good game at 14/15 players?
Yes. 15 players on Inland means you can expect the closest enemy capital to be ~3 provinces from yours, while still being guaranteed some room to expand because of the way provinces are laid out (~10 provinces, say). IMO that's the 'ideal' setting to teach a newbie the basics: possible early confrontation with another nation while magic is still underdevelopped, and so on.

Quote:
Also, with 5 water provinces it would seem advisable not to include either Atlantis or R'lyeh - do players actually go for either of those on Inland?
Inland is OK for 0 or 1 underwater nation. Better pick another map if you have both R'lyeh and Atlantis.
