Re: MA team game for new players, new thread
My advice: _Really_ don't play on World of Geometry, it's far too big for 12 players. I mean, it's fine (really cool in fact), but only if you're deliberately setting out to play a huge game, which is the case for the other group of players who are just starting a game on it. I would definitely not play your first MP game on it. It will go on for ever, be micromanagement hell and put you all off. I normally aim for about 15 provinces/player or a bit less. Cradle of Dominion would be a nice map if you get a few more players. I've actually just started a game on that with 19 players, but 14 or so would be a very reasonable number.
If you stay at 8 players then I have a modified version of the Parganos map which I think is excellent for 8. The modifications are to make it a fairer map, because the default version has excessive clustering of terrain types, meaning e.g. one player ends up with all the farms, another with all the wasteland.
I have to say I would also leave things like income on default. People very rarely change those settings and I don't know why you'd want to - they're about right as they are.
