Can't say I noticed them to be any beefier, but there seems to be *lots* of special sites.

Also, will this game use the victory points?

Faerun is the map. and this looks interesting so I'll be watching the thread. wish there was also a way for me to watch the actual game to though

So are we using the to-be-released CBM? Or 1.41?

And it really seems that there is a lot of unequality on that map. SW region [water and land] seems to be really low pop [nothing more than 7k], due to terrains maybe too. And starting water locations need to be fixed, I think. They are totally random and can decide on who wins under water.

I have to agree that the west, and especially south-west, of the map is not in the the same league as the rest of the map. The income and resources seem to be much lower in west than in the center or eastern parts of the map. Also, the eastern part of the map seem to have many more choke-points, which basically will see nations in centre most likely turning west first (who will be poorer and will have a harder time to defend themselves due to the more open nature of the geograpy).

In all, based on the short experience (I've never before played on the map) so far, I think the Faerun map is damn excellent for SP gaming, but I am not entirely positive how balanced playfield it will be in MP. Remains to be seen, I guess

Until that I am praying I get a start position in the east

We're going with the latest version of CBM available when I start the game (probably Sunday). As far as I know there aren't any big problems with 1.41 for EA nations, so it should be fine. Don't really want to hold up the game nor bug QM ("are you done yet?!?!")
