what map? I´d like to try out Loemendor or a fixed Sharivar without summonig circle.

I already claimed tien´chi as my nation in the other thread.

[Ed Kolis]

Could you please post a link to the mod? There are so many balance mods I'm not sure which is which
Thanks!

here . It was a tossup if it was more confusing hiding the latest version on the second page of the previous thread or starting yet another thread about it...

[Jurri]

What's fixed Shahrivar? If it's the one with preplaced fortresses, I'm against it, since they are just silly. I'm happy with anything reasonably sized and not having any unfun preplaced stuff (like summoning circles or forts!) so I'd say CU oughta just decide arbitrarily. I'd like to know the map before designing my pretender, though.

[Boron]

We already play Sharivar in Trupers Revenge. I agree with Jurri that the map is not very fun. It looks nice but is not very fun to play at, you can be either extremely lucky or unlucky with your starting placement.

I played a few SP games now on Loemdor and i really like it.

[Whollaborg]

Loemendor could be nice. It has certain feeling that the center of the map is most important but most difficult to defend as well. And it manages to create this feeling without "cheap" trick of one super area in the middle and still gives plenty of variation in "mythical" areas that are thoughtfully set around.

[jeffr]

I'm going away but should be back tomorrow night or Sunday afternoon. If you start the game by then, I'll upload my pretender and take my turn then.

When you decide on a map, please provide a dowload link. I don't have a few that have been mentioned here.

[Cainehill]

Think I'll take Machaka.

[jeffr]

I'm back. Let's rock
