PBEM game: King of the Hill (Over)

I have given my mail(s) earlier in the thread, but as it may be lost somewhere caught between two Posts about the map... My main mail, which should be displayed in my profile, is alneyan[AT]fastmail[DOT]co.uk (replacing AT and DOT by @ and .)

I also have a backup mail, used because it bounces when it fails to deliver a mail, unlike my main address. This backup would be alneyan[AT]gawab[DOT]com. If Gawab bounces, feel free to resend the mail until it makes it.

Zen's Pretender Mod 1.81 should be used while making your Pretender; it can be downloaded from there .

Give the newbie enough time, and he will change his mind...

At least I did, anyway - I sent you a new pretender just now (still Pythium - I'm not quite *that* indecisive).

On the most recent map, with the fixed starting positions, only one starting position have 5 adjacent provinces, with most others having only 3.

The SW circle (Osaii Valley) has quite a lot of wasteland, with low population, compared to the other areas. Perhaps it would be better to have the capital in province 81 of that circle instead?

That said, I'll be fine with playing with the current setup as well, just hoping I won't start in Osaii. :-)

Being in a wasteland could be an advantage, because defenders would tend to be weaker. I could add one better province or two without upsetting the balance though. (Osaii has similar provinces in both provinces)

This starting point should indeed not be there. I will put the starting point in 198 back to 205, which was my initial choice (and the better one).

Any other comments before I release the final Version? That one will be both posted here, and sent in the first mail.
