Armadillo - started

Hmm, I have been thinking about the number of players for this game.

I think I will have to reserve the right to turn away players after the 15th, in case the consensus is that including more players would make the game too big. On the other hand please continue signing up in case we decide to go with more players.

What I'm worried about is what map to use. It seems to me that there's a bit of a gulf in available map sizes between 'Glory of the Gods (multiplayer)' (274 provinces) and 'Glory of the Gods' (502 provinces). In my opinion games tend to be most exciting in the 15-20 provinces/player range, and playing on the big Glory of the Gods, with 24 provinces each (assuming 22 players), sounds like it might be really quite cumbersome.

Does anyone have any thoughts, or know of any nice maps with provinces in the 300-400 range? I've not got much experience of setting up large games, so opinions are very welcome.
