Heh, I don't know about you guys, but reading all those tragic stories in this game actually makes it fun Most of us are getting screwed, which makes it pretty much even. Lol.

Oh, and sea lanes are really insane. It's pretty standard to get a "Hello neighbour!" PM from someone I didn't even know I neighbor, until I followed that looong rope to a distant Nowhere-island on the other side of the sea It's kinda silly, too. You could call England and France neighbors, but this is calling USA and Russia as ones. Lol.

Turn on Map filters -> Neighbours. Shows every connection of selected province.

----------

I also have a confession of sorts. I spent ages redrawing the borders on this map a while ago. I didn't want to influence the map choice and I wanted to test it in game so I've kept schtum till now.

It has antialased and more accurate borders and two versions with varying brightness. Connections between caves are drawn in (some surprises there too no doubt):

IMPORTANT: the images are fully interchangeable but don't swap the map script (as jimbo customised ours). Just put one of the new images in place of the old one and reload dom3 (must quit to desktop) to try the other map pic. Everything will be the same but the background.

I agree with Lung Drago that the overcrowding problem is starting to sound rather fun, and I think that the potentially for battles in every other province each turn sounds crazy and cool!

But again, I can't actually identify with any of that, since Im safe underwater, and high on the province graph, and still have some indies.

I am thinking that a wraparound map would have solved some of our problems.
