I wouldn't do random starts. Too risky... I need control of placement to ensure team members end up near each other.

I don't really care what the settings are in terms of balance, but a high number of provs or provs/player makes for a lot of micro in the mid/endgame, which leads to longer turns and more players dropping or staleing. 20 per player is manageable however and the point about this being like a duel where there's no diplomacy and it's better to steal land from your enemy is a pretty good one. I'd be fine with either the default settings proposed in the OP or with Iron's compromise.

Sorry, that was an accident. It really was.

Delete me please

OK, I've created a vets forum, but I'm not sure if we will use it, since it looks rather insecure to me. But it's there, and as I learn more about the security settings maybe I will feel confident about using it.

If so, I'll pm all the vets.

OK, I've figured out how to make it secure. I've set it up so only I can add new users. We should be good to go now.

Glad to hear that's all sorted out. Now the teams just need to get ready!

I think I'm still green enough, you can add me to the noob side if you're still looking for players. The last game was a fun thing to check every day or so, and I did indeed learn some tactics both obvious and less obvious from the last one. Thanks.

Just register for the forum. It will send me an email asking if I want to allow you to enter the forum. When I confirm, you will be in.

I guess I should add a #6 to my sig. For serious post. This would be a #6.

Good job in getting the vet forum up and running. I've added the link to the main post.

I believe the Team Vet is final. Just need to get confirmation from you guys.

PM me vets. I need to get a final list together. Thanks.
