				 Re: Chaos vs Order? 
 Here's an idea for player layout to maximise contact with the enemy. First of all, choose a wraparound map. Then put the players on like this:
 O X O X
 X O X O
 
 That way everyone has 4 enemies as neighbours.
 
 Unfortunately it only works with 4, 8, 16 etc players, but a fudge with some intermediate number of players should be possible.
