Sentient Machines - [Game on]

But now that we have 10 players the map thing just became a lot more complicated. Wasn't Fomoria a coast nation?

As much as I love Shahrivar, 16,8 land provinces per player is too much, considering that no-one will likely have exceptional expansion rates. My main idea is to allow dormant pretenders to break free before there are enemies at the gate. We could take smaller map (12-13 provs per player) and ramp up the independent strenght to 6 or 7.

But now, I'm quite intriqued by the Random map: Corruption.

14,8 land provinces per player and the lakes are kinda all over the place, creating chokepoints. It also somewhat diminishes Fomoria's "only amphibian narion"-vantage.

Or should we go with shahrivar anyway? Perhaps with lowered indy str?

Let's try to decide on a map before the pretender selection comes, since that can understandably affect our voting. I'm hearing you players out because I want to be fair. If there isn't a conculsion by wednesday, I'll probably move from democracy to dictatorship and decide on something.
