I don't think this is a strong map for water nations regardless of start.

Though perhaps at least setting nostarts in the water to help water nations wind up in a bigger pond isn't unreasonable.

I (of course went from a great start to a terrible start) but my problem isn't that I only have 3 Provinces ( LOL, I had 7 last start), its that I have lands more suited to sauro that Arco...There are no fertile provinces within sight much less any that I can reach. I have 2 Blanks and 1 Forest around my Cap with wastes around them

As I said I can live with 3 provinces, but I would like to be able to have enough income to buy a mage and MAYBE a couple of archers each turn.

I have never played on a random map so maybe I am actually in a 'good' position.

Someone has to get the short end of the stick, but it sounds like there are quite a few that are in trouble from the start.
I have no idea what to suggest so I will just do my whining now and then do my best....

Yep, with as many nations as we have some will no doubt wind up with a less than ideal situation.

I'm not sure what remedy their is short of not playing on a random map though.

My 2nd start is slightly better than the first, but neither outstanding. I suppose it will all depend on whom my neighbors actually are.

With random start locations it's impossible to please everyone with as many people as we have; it's unfortunate but you just have to work with what you're given (which is easy for me to say since my start isn't too bad).

I say we kill Amonchakad just to be sure he's not an illithid.

I just got notified that I need to be on travel from feb 10th to the 13th and will be unable to put in turns during that time.

I've contacted someone about subbing for me so hopefully there will be no delays to the game. I'll keep you updated with the situation though.

thanks
