all nations are taken, still haven't found anyone who told me that he knows how to add fixed starting locations for a map. as soon as I find that person we'll get the game going.

Oh, I can do that. Unless you don't want the players to know where the starting locations are of course.

well, starting positions could be known for everyone, not too much harm done that way, especially considering the map layout. and again, this is a pilot(as in test) game to try out this new concept of mine. if it works well and the game is good and fun, than we can expand it into more players, different maps, different eras, etc. so for a first time it will be fine...

so Graeme, if you can do it than please set up each team on a different side, say Cold on the left and Hot on the right, like in air conditioners :P the powerhouses: Lanka/Mictlan(whichever hot team chooses) and Niefelheim on their respective centers, the other 2 on the north and south, doesn't really matter which is where as long as you tell everyone how you set it up. than give us all the map and upload it to llamaserver(or I will after I receive it) and we can finally start

Rename the .txt to .map. We can't upload .map files without renaming them.
