King of the Isle (finished)

[Zeldor]

That map looks awesome, so I may give a try, but it depends on my other MP games [I am losing all of them so I should have free time]

[LDiCesare]

I may give it a try with Eriu. If that doesn't click for me, I might try Abyssia instead.

[Tharsonius]

I'm in with R'lyeh (big Lovecraft fan).

Okay, I'd like to try Ermor this time.

One thing occurs to me: If the VPs are cumulative, I would recommend a higher number--at least 5. I could see it being difficult for opponents to respond quickly enough if someone takes the central province--particularly for nations like Ulm or water. And even if they do, most likely that first person has held the province for 1 or 2 turns--which means all he has to do is get it back again and keep it briefly. 5 (or more) VPs allows for more strategic responses imo. I'll play regardless, though. ; )

Cumulative vps only accrue during one summer month.
So someone will have to hold it for 3 years (Or in the right month of 3 separate years.)

[IndyPendant]

...Oh. Never mind, nothing to see here.

*cough* ; )

[Zeldor]

Isn't it that you to keep it in 3 turns in a row and then it resets?

[Twan]

It's one VP for the player controlling the province the first month of each summer (month 6 of the year iirc).

I don't know if 3 cumulative victory points is the best choice, I'm hesitating with 2.

2CVP
pro : even if many players manage to control the isle one summer, the game won't be too long
con : if one player takes a good start, takes the isle for the second summer and keeps it two years, the game may end as soon as turn 42

3CVP
pro : good minimum and probable duration (60 turns if a player dominates, in the 80-100 if 2 or 3 others succeed to score some VPs)
con : if all player manage to score vps the game may never end (12 players x 2 vps x 12 months) + 12 for the last vp = ... 492 turns if everyone succeed to control the isle 2 summers before someone scores the third vp)

[Ubercat]

Count me in. I'll take Jotunheim.

What is the deadline for confirmation?
