Default Re: New Map for Dom2 : Land of Shahrivar

Yes we plan to do a 40 provinces map, and the story background proposes 4 nations to play.
It will look like Shahrivar (with sites represented by drawings on the map) but will be more scripted (indep population, may be heroes... don't know yet). But of course it shall be played in "free" mode too.

For those who want to use this for MP games, adding the following #nostart lines should eliminate all the provinces that only have two neighbors, making for a more balanced MP game then if one player has 6 provinces and the other only 2.

#nostart 177
#nostart 174
#nostart 170
#nostart 180
#nostart 179
#nostart 175
#nostart 87
#nostart 82
#nostart 3
#nostart 96
#nostart 106
#nostart 134
#nostart 79

Think I caught them all - 3 neighbor provinces I felt were passable, but 2 neighbors ones tend to have knights in both neighbors.

Cool! Any chance it would be a small map? One thing that's currently lacking is good looking, playable small maps; basically a shortage of anything from 40 to 100 provinces, the sort that are preferable for blitz games or anything with 2-4 players. ( Cirlani has somewhat too many provinces, Aran too many bad start provinces, Yalun-to is problematical with the isolated sections of the map, and ... everyone has played way too many games with the Urgaea map )
Yeah, I'd like more maps the size of Reemergence of Urgaia, which I love.
