"I can design a map and sprinkle starts around on it."

Nominated.

Dr. P.,

I would like to make a water race friendly map. We already have 2 new players in the water, and Id like a 3rd new player to take Oceania.

Not sure whether it is better to have 1 big body of water on 1 side, with limited access to land(rectangular map), or break up the water into 2-3 lakes of 10-15 provinces each.

My initial inclination is to put the water together, except for a few small lakes if that happens), and let the water races fight it out. If they are all new, it will be a fair fight. And the winner will have a strong water position and not need to go on land until mid to late game.

By then the land races will have beaten each other up etc.

I would not mind a few sites with the "many sites" tag, as long as they are clearly marked on the map for all to see-say with stone henge symbol or something. I had 2-3 of those on the battle map in epic heroes I and that gives races an objective to fight over.

How many provinces per race is recommended? I think velusion went with 15 in perpetualtiy? That seemed like a good ratio. We can also assume we will have 20 players, with 3 water races. At max only 22 is possible. And I doubt even Ko would play Eriu-even though i beefed up their epic hero a bit. Still it seems like a shunned race.

Plus if we plan for 20 and get 22, it will not hurt the ratio too much.

Fair Warning:While I will play most any race, but when the 19th race is picked, I am going to get the 20th pick.

In particular, I do not want to be in the water with the new players(though i like Oceania), and I have never played Eriu-and have no intention to start this game. So whatever race is left after 19 have been selected that is not these 2 is what i will play.

All of this is entirely feasible. Let me know when we know for sure how many players we have - it can be 300 provinces regardless but I need to know how many starts to place.

I'll put the map up for people to review before we start.

I just put the sign up yesterday. And it has filled up fairly fast. So I would like to leave it up for 2 more days just in case we fill completely up and get 22 players.

If someone can win this game with Eriu, then they are truly the mp champion of Dom III. And my hat will be 4ever off to them. And I really did beef up that Epic hero a good bit.

He has nobadevents100, healer 100, and a dominion summon from the Early Era.

Who can win with a Warrior Druid?

Aw heck, you throw down the gauntlet like that then go ahead switch me to Eriu.

Quick question... when you say 15 provinces per player do you mean that for deciding the total number of provinces the map will have?

Or that each player starts with 15 provinces??

Xietor · #57 November 2nd, 2007, 04:30 AM

you only start with 1 province. 15 per player just means you can get size of map. 20 x 15 = 300.

Gregstrom · #58 November 2nd, 2007, 05:55 AM

Put me down for Oceania. As I'm a newb, it seems sensible.

Agema · #59 November 2nd, 2007, 06:40 AM

I'll play, but give me about 12h to work out what nations are left and pick one.

Whats wrong with Eriu ? The nation is not bad at all and that hero is almost average among the Epic heroes.
