Newbie Slug Fest - Mose Hansen game - ENDED

[Cainehill]

I second bypassing the Tyrande map - it can be fun for SP, but is hopelessly unbalanced for MP. Panther started with a site that diseased his capital? Someone else can start with the site that allows them to recruit Pythium's Grand Thaumaturgs, as well as the gem income, as that's a site that's been placed on the map.

Also, distribution of gold provinces, resource provinces, and magic provinces isn't even. While in a sense, it's reasonable and realistic that areas close to the north pole have less population, fewer resources, etc, it really doesn't do much for whomever is unlucky enough to start there.

Might be interesting in a map that had 6-10 or more reasonable starting positions, and then people would choose whether to strike out for the gold rich coasts and plains, or the mountains and forests, or went to grab the polar wastelands because they figure on less competition, but that isn't Tyrande.
