Yes they would - unless someone wants to volunteer to play Atlantis to balance things out?
That is why I asked about the aquatics. Well, no prob, unless someone really wants to play Atlantis (I somehow dislike that word, 'volunteer') Abysia suits me very well indeed.

If there is a disagreement on the map you can always browse http://www.techno-mage.com/~dominion...humbnails.html
They all should be 70 land and 10 water. Basically 5 provinces each before you go to war.

Or http://www.techno-mage.com/~dominion...humbnails.html
which are 140 land and 20 sea. Basically 10 provinces each then the land wars start.

Grab any you like. If you dont like what you see then there will be new maps there tomorrow. One advantage is that no one has played these maps. Dont worry. None of my wild random stuff on these. Just bare bones maps

no offense at all intended Gandalf, but I confess that they all look the same to me. The other thing is that I really like maps with chokepoints - partly because this is somewhat realistic (at least between landmasses) - and maps with some impassable boundaries. Having said that, if the consensus were to be to use one of those I would go along happily enough.

BTW re. hosting I'd really prefer not to, so hopefully someone else will be willing to...

Yeah its the limitations of the dommap generator. Still good stuff for starting with if people want to use a paint program and notepad to turn one of them into something more playable.

Hey if the demo will be out early next week (let's suppose tuesday for the sake of argument) maybe we shouldn't embark on a PbEM for Dom I... what do you think?
