I've read bad things about Ulm, so I'll give Ulm a try.

Hum, the DangerPudding game is already using your map, Twan...

Although it is not using a VP victory. But for feedback on the map it should serve the same purpose.

Wow, you were fast to use it (be aware the map may still have some connection errors, I was thinking I had verified all but someone has found one missing neighbor yesterday).

Give me news of your game (especially how do the garrisons with big monsters against player armies, I want to adjust some before I start mine, so no player get too easy or terribly hard encounters between his start position and a gateway).

Count me in!

I'll post later with my nation choice.

We're using the 3.01 version, so that is already fixed. I'll encourage people to write something about the map when they're finished with the game, be it good or bad feedback.

Count me in too. I will have to see what nation I'd like to pick after I've tried the map a bit.

That map looks awesome, so I may give a try, but it depends on my other MP games [I am losing all of them

so I should have free time]

I may give it a try with Eriu. If that doesn't click for me, I might try Abyssia instead.

I'm in with R'lyeh (big Lovecraft fan).

Okay, I'd like to try Ermor this time.

One thing occurs to me: If the VPs are cumulative, I would recommend a higher number--at least 5. I could see it being difficult for opponents to respond quickly enough if someone takes the central province--particularly for nations like Ulm or water. And even if they do, most likely that first person has held the province for 1 or 2 turns--which means all he has to do is get it back again and keep it briefly. 5 (or more) VPs allows for more strategic responses imo. I'll play regardless, though. ; )
