issues with s23:


terrain is pretty grouped.


farmlands in one area, forest in another, mountains in another


so s23 dropping in the ranks


s28 has the distribution of land types we wants but has really only point of connection between the land masses. So that choke point would be battle central. Which is semi lame as no real strategy involved.

s27 http://www.dom2minions.com/~dominion...odayMapS27.htm


is looking pretty good.


the farmlands in the NW are little clumped but there are enough of them elsewhere to make it semi nice


s24 http://www.dom2minions.com/~dominion...odayMapS24.htm

also looks nice.

a little less interesting terrain. but still decent distro of land types



both of these are top choices

Well, we also had decided on TC, but we are willing to go arco if you want it too.

So we want van, ulm, and arco and you want jotun, tc and who?

Also I can make the perfect map is 20 seconds with the generator.

What is the problem with using a truly random no water map?

Do we want water, is that the problem?

Ok, "which map" is still an issue.

I uploaded my 2 maps, so you can find them at
http://www.schulterdrachen.de/files/...ofchandrea.zip
http://www.schulterdrachen.de/files/...arganos_v2.zip

Then msew and me agree we could use some of Gandalfs random maps with 85 prov.

you guys do know that S23 on the 4th is not S23 on the 5th. The maps change daily so linking directly to them is not a good idea. Snag the map and snag the image so you can post it here.

Or let me know and I can rename it so it stays when the re-randomize scripts run
