YAY! NEW MAP! SMALLER GAME!
The first post of this thread has been updated to reflect the new map. We can start soon.
After generating maps all night I finally got one that had water at the top and bottom (so I could wrap it with my really bad paint program skills). Its only 200 provinces, 180 land and 20 water.

Re: STACKERS, newbie game, signup here
If we are starting soon, may I have a selection for my nation so I can start thinking about pretender design and overall strategy?

Re: STACKERS, newbie game, signup here
Do you play RPG games?
Do you prefer to play warrior, mage, priest, thief, druid, barbarian, undead, ranger, sea elf, cthulhu?

Re: STACKERS, newbie game, signup here
If I were choosing based on aesthetics, I would have selected earlier.  The idea here is to have what should be considered to be an "underdog" nation either by virtue of overall ability or difficulty to control or by virtue of the nations selected by others.
I have the most experience with Arcoscephale, Marignon, and T'ien C'hi, so none of those would be terribly appropriate.
I was thinking maybe Man, Agartha, Ermor, or Mictlan.

Re: STACKERS, newbie game, signup here
My idea of best choice would be whatever matches your gaming style. And worst would be the least match.
I love playing underdogs to be a surprise.  Pick any you like. Just be sure to pay attention to the built in pros/cons of that nation.

That's one of my favorite features of Man. My least favorite feature is their 1h basic priest... The two things probably add up to about a wash.
