Re: New map
Speaking of play balance, I've noted that the upper area of the map, basically the all-snow provinces are incredibly population-poor. While this is certainly thematic, it's -very- tough when you start out in that area. Yes, the resources are high, but with such low populations, it's pretty tough to make the requisite gold totals to really make use of them. I had several populations (granted with Turmoil 2) which were producing 0 income and I noted that just about every province surrounding my capital had under 2000 pop. That's pretty rough.
Granted, it encourages you to run out and grab land ASAP, but in MP, I'd think the advantage would certainly swing to players who started in the more bountiful south. Thoughts from other players?
