Re: Noobs vs. Vets, LA, CBM, Nation selection underway.
In the original votes, the majority of people had no preference with regard to map, the two that were mentioned most were Orania or Alexander, so I went with Orania.
I know QM and most of the vets favor a smaller map, however as I've mentioned, a smaller map makes rushing more likely. In my opionion though the noobs have numbers on their side, their inexperience makes them more susceptable to being overwhelmed early.
Further, while the vets will have more time on a larger map, so too will the noobs, who'll also have more time to learn and amass forces.
I generally favor larger maps, with time for research and expansion, I want to see what the vets come up with, and I'm not in any rush, and am often busy anyway (which is why I won't get into more than two games at once). Short rush type games won't give us noobs a chance to get research accomplished, and to reach the more powerful spells. Our advantage in numbers will not decrease, regardless of how long the game goes, it will only increase, and provide up more time for coordination and communication as well.
However, I want everyone to be satisfied and everyones voice to be heard, so I'd allow a revote on map preference if it comes to that, though I'd prefer not delay the game any further.
