Default Re: Mega Game II-vote for map

I think having the water broken up keeps one powerful water race from having too big a base. I have seen this issue in other mp games where 1 water race owns a huge connected clump of water.

Makes taking it from them more difficult, whereas if the water is broken up a bit it forces them to go on land at some point.

Do we really want 1 water race to own 100 provinces and 6 capitals without ever having to dry off? For that reason I tend to favor t4(of course i will be playing a land race).

Any thoughts on this issue? If 900-11 is used, all 6 water races will start in the 1 big fetus shaped body of water. The land bridge in the middle of the map does not extend all the way across.

I am, however, willing to follow the majority. Otherwise i would not have posted various maps for vote.


* one other issue, and it may be the deciding factor, is I cannot open the map file of 900-11 with dominions map editor
due to the format in which gandalf used to make the map. But we are working on this technical issue. I will need to be able to edit the map we use to set starting locations, and review everything.
