I appreciate your time too, Cleveland, you're doing good things with this game. <3

I'm unsure about the issue with 223. That waterway should be miles wide, and by extrapolation, is probably at least 1000' deep? Not sure the landlubbers would even know there were troop movements, let alone have researched Depth Charge technology to deal with it. Would be interesting if there were a mechanic to differentiate between deep sea dwellers (gillers) with surface water dwellers (lungers).

Anyway, we'll have a good game one way or another, and if I have to win on a map that is not very good for aquatics, then the victory dance will only be that much sweeter. And if I lose (95% or so probability!), then I'm blaming the map, not my pretender design, or any decisions I personally make thereafter.

Me too. I'd originally tried simply connecting everything, but it turns out to be a convoluted mess...lots of connections, lots of aesthetically disturbing lines criss-crossing each other, very hard to decipher. I didn't want to simply eliminate the inland connections either, just because it's a neat geographic feature. I think this is a nice compromise, though I'm in full agreement that depth charges are definitely a LA technology.

Hmmm. Llamaserver seems to think the map is already located in it's databanks, and therefore won't allow me to upload it. A thorough scan of the map browser revealed nothing, though.

It's around midnight in the British Isles, so Llamabeast is probably either drinking Newcastle from a boot or dreaming of quantum electrodynamics in non-integer dimensions. Either way, I don't think we'll be online until the sun rises on the British empire...
