actually with this # it would be prov-per-player land advantage slightly...
with 11 land players, thats 199 land/11 = 18.09 each
there are 22 water provinces but 3 of them are "inland"...non-accessible to other water provinces (think: huge lakes). so that gives a single water nation 19, however all water provinces border land provs, which makes imo this a very hard water nation map to play. i tried it with LA r'hley awhile back and only because they are easy to get on land was i able to corner off the top/right of the map and then fight off atlantis in the water...otherwise wouldve been screwed because even patala was attacking me in the water by that point haha

anyway, no worries. lets leave it how it is and just play

upload pretenders everyone!!! gogogo

Wow, effeDom, I really didn't expect this from you. I was only exhorting the values of Network over PBEM, I never said anything about having to play on it. In fact I SPECIFICALLY explained that I was happy playing on anything, but apparently you did not read my posts... you just jumped on the let's-be-mean-to-Renojustin bandwagon.

I have played in TWO multiplayer games, the first of which was cancelled due to Gandalf Parker's server going down and the second of which I was forced to leave very early in the game due to extreme personal reasons IRL. Most of the people in this game have more MP experience than me, and I joined the forum community only three months before you. There are much older players in this game than I. The fact that someone is active on the forums is no reason to remove them from the game.

So please don't try to justify and rationalize your reasons for trying to exclude me from the game. The fact of the matter is that I joined this game in good faith and apparently now there's some kind of conspiracy to remove me from it. What exactly are you afraid of?

I patiently and unnecessarily explained what happened to me in the game I was forced to leave to the person who aggressively attacked me about it (completely unjustifiably), who has now gone behind my back after saying that they'd be happy to play with me in PM.

So I keep hearing about how fantastic the Dominions 3 community is supposed to be, but lately have met with nothing but unwarranted aggression and bullying. If you don't want me to play in this game, that is your choice, and if you read my posts, I've always said that everything in this game is your choice... but your reasoning for it so far would be completely specious and it would not be an honorable or fair thing to do.

Sounds like a PM job to me too. I haven't bothered to read all the above posts - please keep me informed if I need to remove any pretenders for nations people have changed from or anything.

Well no one will look at this page shortly. In the meantime the best way to fill up the thread is with role-playing stuff from your pretender. That's always good fun.

Well.....for better or for worse I will post my 2 cents worth.

I have NO CLUE what one half the stuff your talking about.

What I DO know is this is supposed to ne a Newbie game.

So guys like me can get our feat wet, noses bloodied, and see why all those neat things I did in SP....just won't work.

The guy set up the game the way he wanted it...we joined it, lets live with it and get it under way.

If he wants to change to a water nation thats ok with me.

If someone wants his old nation...thats ok with me.

If someone here is NOT a new guy....Thats NOT ok with me.

I won't last long anyway but I DO want to play with other guys that more or less are the same level.

If someone just wants to thrash everyone so they can get points then to me thats kind of like having the Yankees playing a little league team. They will win but who cares.

Lets lock and load so I can do my Marverni Kama-kazi and GOOD LUCK to ALL!!!!!!!
