Ouch! Looking at the map, I definately think the water nations should be eliminated. Not only do the water provinces have a _lot_ of mobility, but essentially the two water nations would have 25 water provinces each to expand into, while land nations only have 14.46 provinces.

Normally there should be fewer water provinces per water player than land provinces per land player, since the aquatics expand onto land a lot more easily than most land nations can get into water.

OK, As I see it we have two options. Either eliminate the water nations or change the map.

Of the two options I prefer to keep the water nations but change the map.

How about Faerun, small edition?

This map is pretty cool. So I slightly lean towards ditching the water nations. Either way I'm looking forward to this game.

I've not played on either map before. So switching maps or ditching the water nations are both fine by me.

Faerun is just too big, even the small version. Hate to ask for water nations to be banned after people chose them, but... I'd vote for keeping the Neo-Pangaea map.

It doesn't bother me too much, and it sounded like RonD was open to not having water nations. Lets just make a decision soon -- if I'm playing another nation, I'd like some time to do some test games with the settings.

There are several land nations open, so going land-only seems like the optimal course of action.
