Great, I've added you all to the list.

Hmm, I had considered chupacabra, but it's a bit sinister for my liking. I kind of like cuddly South American mammals.

(For those of you who haven't noticed, I'm going with a South American mammal theme for my game names).

Actually, I'll let ER have Eriu, and try Marignon this game. They look...intriguing.

[llamabeast]

Good stuff. Marignon are cool. I'm playing them at the moment, really enjoying them.

Based on the recommendation of my RL friend, Dallan_Invictus, I'd like to get into this game.

Unless water races are disallowed, I'd like to play Atlantis. If they are disallowed, I'd like to play Ulm.

I am having a great time with Capybara, but I think it is time to join my second game.

I would like to try R'lyeh

Thanks

Good stuff guys, I'll add you to the list. Chantillary, Dallan's giving you good advice!

Now, we have a choice of maps. Obvious choices are Parganos (8-9 players), or Cradle of Dominion (12-14 players). Pros and cons:

Advantages of Parganos:
- Might be a bit less dauntingly large in the end game (doesn't matter earlier on since people will not have that much space each)
- Need less players

Advantages of Cradle of Dominion:
- I think it's a nicer map
- At least two players are already playing on Parganos
- I think a larger game is quite exciting

Do people have any thoughts? My own inclination is to wait a bit and see if we can get enough for Cradle, but I'm open to suggestions.

[Dallan_Invictus]

For myself, I'd like to wait and see if we can fill up Cradle, but I'll play Parganos if people want to get a quicker start. Like you, I find the idea of a large game thrilling.

[Aristander]

I am happy with Cradle of Parganos. I just think 22 sea areas is not very many for 2 sea kingdoms. . . especially since I am playing R'lyeh.

Not trying to hijack the thread but are Cradle, Parganos and Desert Eye the most common maps for multiplayer?
