Noob LA Game: Cataclysm - And Begin!

[Tolkien]

Lavaere: Ah, knew I forgot something.

Cicadian: can you choose another nation? Marignon was picked the post right before yours.

Festin: Cradle of Dominions is fun, but I'd like the game to be a bit more...dynamic. Cradle is a great map, but it's more defense oriented: chokepoints everywhere, lots of terrain blocks to slow down expansion and movement, and it has edges, which means people starting closer to the sides have less territory they need to worry about and defend. The Desert Eye doesn't have as many terrain roadblocks, and the wraparound helps eliminate the advantages of having an edge on the map.

I mean I can change if it the overwhelming majority are in favor, but I'd like to try out a different map.

Also: If it's at all possible, I'd like to see Ermor and R'lyeh in the game. Both Ermor and R'lyeh because it thematically fits the "Cataclysm" theme, and R'lyeh so that Atlantis doesn't have a monopoly on the sea. It's just a suggestion though: I don't want to force anyone to take a nation they hate or don't want.
