How about 17 land provinces/land player and 15 water provinces/water nation.

(I just picked some fair numbers to get this rolling). Also how will the nations be placed on the map ? adjacent I imagine, but will the map be wraparound ? And in brief how will it look ?

That would be fine. I don't have a burning desire to play any of the four nations assigned so once I'm presented with final numbers on the water provinces I'll give my opinion to Thrawn as to which I think is the better deal and let him make the final choice.

Drpre if I understand your map idea I will have two neighbors that will border me. One that I will be allied with.

Homer, I believe the neighbor layout will be something like this, example would be for the southernmost team:

Middle of map (water?)
..E.A.E..
E...A...E
Southern edge of map

A = ally
E = enemy

There are *two* possibilities, Micah is describing the "pie slice" arrangement, which I actually prefer.

The other possibility is the around-the-rim arrangement, which Evilhomer describes. Unless I hear otherwise from Thrawn, I will set up the map with the around-the-rim arrangement as soon as I know how many water players there are.

In case anyone missed the previous post:
Total Provinces = 250
# of water nations, # of water provinces (+/- 10%)
0 - 1, 10
2, 25
3, 40

Gah! 12.5 water provinces per water player vs. 18.75 land provinces per land nation?

No way could I would even consider water then.

Or 25 water provinces if only one person picks water.

I will play Ermor. Carlosib will play Sauromatia.
