Ok guys i have updated :

The map
The victory condition
The number of players
I have also added a pole to vote for or against handicap for vet players.

If there is more votes for "none" than the sum of the 3 others handicap option then no handicap applied for vet
Otherwise the most popular handicap will be picked.
If there is many "something else" ... well i'm waiting you proposition.

For X i was thinking of 3 turns. Seems fair to me.

I expect to start the game saturday.

If you don't like the change feel free to say it here or by PM.

Cheers

Bullock, can you edit the first post with a link to where v4 is of that map? I found a v3 on llamaserver's mod/map list, but no v4.

Also, IMO the vets are at a disadvantage if the noobs gang up on them. That may be enough of a handicap.... Or not. lol.

@agelian : Not sure it s a good idea since spawn are random. (but i m ok to use it if the majority does)

@Kurgan maybe u r right about handicap. Concerning the map i added a link.

Nope, LA only has R'lyeh as a water nation. Atlantis is a surface nation. Strangely enough.

Right, I vote for no diplo. Seems like the option that is the most fun. And it totally clashes with my normal playstyle.

Actually, LA Ermor and R'lyeh are broken, not because of their abilities, but because of what they do to the game. Whoever starts next to them has no choice but to fight them because of the horrible effects of their dominion. If you get into a war with them, and win, you will have nothing to show for it because of the fact that there dominion slowly dies off. All you will have is empty, useless provinces, no reward to show for your efforts, whereas, if you fought another nation, their provinces would provide you with a monetary and resourceful bonus.
