Uh, this game is listed as closed does that include a spot for myself? c.c

I dislike Aran mostly because a lot of the starting positions are terrible and there are not enough water provinces to support more than one water nation. If you put two in there, they're immediately at war.

There's a starting position on the western peninsula that only has two bordering territories.

I would be disinclined to go with Cradle, I'd say it was a bit big for 8 players.

One objection I've heard to Aran is that it's a bit wasteland-y. I've not really looked at it myself though.

Another alternative is my modified version of Parganos (where I have tried to even the terrain up and make it much less unbalanced). I can modify it a bit more as per suggestions you made before LP.

I'm still intrigued why you loathe random maps LP? I agree they're not as interesting chokepoint-wise, but they're not that bad. And it's easy to add real mountain provinces if you want.

Id like to play as jotunheim, and I agree that cradle is too large for only 8.

Karan was a Dom 2 map that I thought had been converted & fixed for Dom 3 to ensure fair starts, etc., but I can't find anything that supports my recollection--I might be confused with the work Edi did for Cradle.

At any rate, you can find the Dom 2 version on Illwinter's map page and I'll continue hunting the forums to see if anyone fixed it for Dom 3.

Hi.

I'd prefer something compact, but since I'm not familiar with either map, I won't push you in any direction.

I'd play Man, if possible.

CU,
Halaster

Yeah, I think fixed Parganos is a good idea. I'll dig it up and add a few more mountains.
