MP: YARG3, non newb MA+ENP2 RAND game. Executor's Ulm winner on turn 76

[Executor]

Personally, I'm in favor of a non water game, have a fear of depths you know.

Now, gimme my nation fool!

Please vote or argue your favorite or bring other choices if you like.

Westeros looks pretty cool. I will test it some, and it will probably get my vote. Orania and Riverlands are the right size and they wrap. I played YARG2 on Alexander - maybe that's what I did wrong.

It will be very difficult to balance a map with a random # of water nations, so I say no to them also.

I like wrapped maps as they are much fairer.
Otherwise people at the corners and edges have a large advantage.

Orania is nice.

Orania is nice.

True, I'm also in favor of a wrap around map, but if we use Orania than the special sites in certain provinces need to be removed. Having known discount sites in a anonymous game is a very bad idea.

i m not yet a vet but i did pretty well in my first games. (i even managed to win one ) thanks to a lot of sp practicing.

So if you think i have the required level i d be glad to join.
Concerning the votes,if i m in, i m fully for the random nations, i don t mind about water nations and i d vote for the Westeros map which looks pretty nice.

[mockingbird]

I would also be in favor of leaving out the water nations.

[WraithLord]

ok. looks like we're going land nations only, total random assignment.
Bullock, I'm signing you up.

I agree re. wraparound maps. Westeros got some votes. However I didn't test it and have no idea how balanced it may be or whether or not it's wraparound.

Orania is very nice but I'm worried about the spec. sites that Executor has mentioned. But wait a sec. didn't CBM 1.84 remove the big discount sites (>= 30%)?

[WraithLord]

Guys, unless I hear any objections I think we should go with Orania. It's a good looking map, wraparound and got a lot of mileage.

I also suggest 9VPs victory condition.

If all proceeds as planned tomorrow I'll send the players list to Dimaz and ask him to assign the nations.
In parallel I will create the game on the llamaserver and notify rdonj that we'll soon be ready to start.

[WraithLord]

OP updated. Game is closed.
We're waiting for Dimaz to assign nations.
