Re: Figment - Early Game (Sign Up Now!)
there are only so many startup locations. With so many players I don't think it so surprising that a couple will dup.

Re: Figment - Early Game (Sign Up Now!)
By the way, please remind me - what do all these special small icons on a random map mean?
IIRC some of them are just for fun, and some actually mean something.
For example, on our map we have:
Multiply tiny houses icons, sometimes several per province
Volcano icon
White stone building with big ball on top
Lake icon
Ice icon

I don't think the little house means anything.
But the volcano etc correspond to a special terrain mask that indicates more chance for sites, on a random map. However, the map file could have been edited and the terrain mask changed, in which case the graphic would still be there but the extra site chance wouldn't.
If you really want to check, have a look in the map file at the terrain masks, and compare the mask values to the values here:

Or you could just be sure to do a little more site searching in those sites.

Re: Figment - Early Game (Sign Up Now!)
you'd think the little houses would indicate higher than normal pop....

Re: Figment - Early Game (Sign Up Now!)
Why are we on 48 hour host for the first turn?

Re: Figment - Early Game (Sign Up Now!)
read back...I don't think velusion has come back and read the thread yet, so he hasn't switched back to normal host.

Delay request
I need to fly to Stuart for a wedding.
May I request no turns be run on Saturday? I will be able to resume on Sunday.
