NewMap: Isolated Islands, 1-on-1 segregated

[Wish]

yeah gandalf, i figured saying the map was designed for head-to-head play covered that. for what its worth, they each get 18 lands, 4 of which are underwater, and the other lands are inhabited by the skeptics. I figured that was enough of a base for any nation to build up the necessary resources to get across the sea.

also I wanted a map where sailing actually meant something. vanhiem has an advantage here, but they still need to be able to take out the independants.

what about a map similar to this one, but for 3 or 4 players, and a few more independant islands?

[Wish]

I could drum one up, i actually have a very poorly drawn 4 island map that I occasionally play on to test new strats, but each player only gets 7 provinces and there was no intermediate islands (just underwater skeptics, guarded by armies of shark knights, it was rough)

I might whip something up for dom3 in that regard.

[Wish]

on second thought i will. it will be the same concept but for 4 players, with 11 lands and 5 water provinces each, plus a chain of skeptic-infested seas and islands. (3 two province islands and one central island - they wont have the same suprises on them except the skeptics.)

I got the tga done, I just need to run it through the editor and do some hand tweeking.

(i'll start a new thread for it)

that's sweet, i've been playing with the 1 on 1 map, and it seems like a massive arms race. maybe with more players it will be a little more action-packed

[Wish]

well it will still be an arms race i suppose, unless you play marignon or vanhiem.

maybe i ought to go for easy magic research, i was playing with difficult reserch
