May I suggest the following addendum to the .map file? It ensures a reasonable spacing of start positions.
I can also make the neighbours of these start sites site-rich and large, if you wish to use such a change.

Code:

---

-perl -f BalancedWater.pl 4 3 < "Boiling the Ocean.map"

#start 374

#start 22

#start 35

#start 165

#start 137

#start 88

#start 239

-- sea start

#start 205

#start 122

#start 245

#start 23

#start 57

#start 190

#start 98

#start 142

#start 252

#start 288

#start 53

#start 286

-- sea start

#start 304

#start 340

#start 369

#start 346

#start 334

#start 355

-- found 25 start sites.

-- 269 is isolated from 25 start positions.

I'd like to play,. kazthefirst@yahoo.com I'll also trade someone for their Lanka position.

[carlosib]

K i'm playing Lanka and would have no problem trading nations as long as the other players think it's fair (we would be breaking the "random nations" spirit of the game).

[AdmiralZhao]

I would love to take Lanka from you. Sweet, sweet Lanka...

[Sensori]

Well, even though I guess you may think I'm sort of a buzzkill, I don't think it's fair. I don't play lots with EA Vanheim but I'm going to go with it anyway. If all the people were going to start switching to nations they're good with... It'd make the whole random spirit of the game meaningless, and turn it into a game where people have chosen their nashuns themselves.

Yes, I seriously doubt it'd end with just you guys switching.

Oh yeah, I noticed that at least normally the game won't let you have more than 9 starting provinces. Is there a way to get around it or are we going to use nine? Or do we start with 1 province as per usual and try to get our share of the 400 or so provinces? That's the "if" that will determine what kind of a Pretender at least I will use. The original post says, and I quote, "20 players with about 20 territories per player", so I'm a bit confused. :/

EDIT: And I second the post above. DrPraetorious's edits wouldn't hurt, would they?

[Herbacious]

Is it fair to ask what the settings will be? Like magic sites and indys and what not?

[Juzza]

May i suggest fairly low indies? I don't wanna spend most of the game hacking through indepents bit by bit to even reach other nations.

[WraithLord]

Are there still open slots for this one?- If so, would the game be hosted at a slower pace once it's past the starting phase?

If the answers are positive then I'd like to join please. thanks.
