Well I mostly chose it because it was the 3 I left off. I was originally thinking of a map where the water nations would completely block off Ermor and Ermor having enough territory to gain a huge army but nowhere to go with it. It would just keep getting bigger until all the people were dead there.
The map I ended up with

doesnt quite do that but I thought it offered a challenge. Ermor down in the corner. An ocean up the left side and another across the bottom. Seperate expansion areas for everyone. Plus there is an advantage to any map where the top or bottom can be marked nostart. Far easier than trying to mark off territory on either sides of the map. In this case I was thinking of making the entire bottom 1/3rd of the map as off-limits to players home castles.
Oh well, if there isnt more interest maybe I will just shelve this project for abit until I find a map that screams to me.
Today Im going to try increasing the random map run back to 30 like it originally was and see if it doesnt blow up my machine.
