Cradle is a fine map, but did you see this info in the 11 start map description?

"Note that you can't download this map file - it's only on the LlamaServer, so the start positions will remain a surprise."

I think the relevant point would be that it was on LLamaserver. It's not anymore.

I'm joining the game to balance cradle. My two nation picks are Mictlan and Bandar Log.

Welcome to our game Militarist and Iainuki.

After a lot of considerations and discussions based upon players feedback and our game's settings, the decision has been made to choose Cradle of Dominion as a map for our game.

We will add two more players, 13 total. That will make the number of land provinces per player to 15.3, total provinces per player - 17. Perfect balance, just what we were looking for.

Since there is space on this map for only one water nation, and a single water nation will not have any competition in the water until much later in the game, to make our game more fun and exciting we will only have land nations in our game. This way the both land provinces and sea provinces can become battlefields from the beginning of the game.


I have rolled the dice for our two new players. Militarist will play Ermor, Iainuki will play Bandar Log.

We are almost ready to roll. All is left to do is to create a modded version of Cradle map with 13 preselected starting positions. This way we will have more fair initial distribution. reducing the effect of luck and increasing the effect of players skills.

I am going to ask Ironhawk and Zeldor, if one of them could do us a favor and create such modded version of this map. Both are experienced map modders and are not players in our game.

Meanwhile everybody please create your pretenders and be ready to send them to llamabeast server, once we will have the map and the game will be created there.

1. Baalz - Shinuyama
