And as I said before, we understand that you want to give the water nation a weak placement. There is no objection to that. But two connecting provinces? Its crazy - I mean, would you be ok with only two connecting provs to your cap? Crippled resources aside, what if they were both knights or something?

Yeah please do take another look. Its not a total deal-breaker to not have this but it does feel disproportionate to the advantage of a single water nation.

Water castles don't draw resources from surrounding land provinces, nor do land castles draw from water. To put the problem in perspective, in most games provs with only 2 resource connections are set no start, and if someone got placed there, it can be legitimate grounds for requesting a restart. You say that other nations have less than ideal positions, but the only one land position with only 2 connections is the island in the middle of the ocean. Would you be fine if we could pick one of your nations to start there?

I would suggest taking a look at the map and providing septimius with one or two province numbers that you deem more fair, it would probably be faster than having him look for a new one.

I already provided him with few I would be happy with quite near the original one, but he declined. Me being too threatening an all that.

Oh well, this is silly and going nowhere. I'll just have to be a lot more aggressive than I intended thanks to the position. Lets get the game started, already 13 pretenders up.

We need our water nation to be in a good locale. 2 provs seems not enough to me. I request a re-emplacement.

And, umm, Sept? I go on vacation in one month. Could you call your people, and let's get this thing started?

Though I hate cluttering the server with more map files (I'll have to ask Llama to remove the last two), I see I'll have no choice. After looking at the map, I've given Atul another starting position with 3 water provs that should be fair enough for both sides.

No more changes. Let's get those remaining pretenders in.

[atul]

Thanks Sept.

Now that out of the way, lets get started.

[Lingchih]

Amen. Let's get it started.

[viccio]

sorry for delay
