wanted: advice on setting up a MP game

[Ironhawk]

Zooko, it seems like you would do just as well to play with Victory Points instead of the Pentagram thing. Just twiddle your victory conditions so that a player is forced to take the number of VPs that you would expect to fall under the control of two other empires. That way they will have to defeat at least two players, but you dont have to worry about how things pan out geographically.

Ironhawk: That's a good point. I'll think about it.

Thanks.

In fact, for a 5 player game, one can always select capitol VPs only and make a it requirment of 3 VP to win. This means you need to keep your own capitol and take two other players home provinces, giving the winner a true majority. This works because those needed capitols always contain a castle and you can't win by sneaking in and taking uncastled territory only.

Where can I find this map called "Inland"?

Heh? "Inland" comes with the game.

Sounds fun. If you are planning on playing with difficult research, I would like to participate.

[Zooko]

Why difficult research?
