I can see where this is headed already. Lets make another vote. Feel free to add additional items. Items with only one vote total will be ignored, as will draws.

I'm fine with all other settings.

Based on a non-statistically significant number of SP games, I'd suggest that four starting provinces is more luck-prone than one. There are some sites that can realy boost your opening play if you get them free on turn 1 IMO.

I'm for HoF 15... (it should be default, unless pretenders are declared ineligible)

...but think one starting prov is best.


with more people just have less time to effect their chosen strategy before the sloppy slapdown begins. Am I wrong here? I so rarely play with more than one starting prov, I don't have any real data for the assertion.

Blood and bone, I see where this is going - next we vote on common/rare random events, and rich world or not. Then graphs (*), and then the name of the game. Then someone suggests indies 9 and difficult research and we have a vote.

I thought the person proposing the game (Karacan) had already suggested the settings.

(*) - By the time we get started, a new patch may have come out that allows the graphs to be turned on/off via the command line.

I don't know what's about the three people wanting to join from the beginning... if they still want a position, I am afraid we're completely sold out.

I think we can settle for large HoF and one starting provinces, right?

Let's start on wednesday. Any votes against that?
