2 or 3 would be good.

   As example the small random map has 10 provinces per a player. This is not starting which will be one but rather the total count of provinces in the map. IE with 10 players in a small random map there would be 100 provinces.

[bulborbish]

To be honest I would prefer a map with around 12-14 provinces per player, so I guess a map with 120-140 provinces. Assuming we don't have a water player, maybe 1 water province per player.

[Akhier the Dragon hearted]

   A smaller map may be interesting. Most times it seems people just want a big map. Also if we don't have a water nation do we want something where its just some single province lakes splattered around or an actual "sea" with all the water tiles put together.

[bulborbish]

Yeah, I just like playing Medium size maps, to be honest. Cozy but not CRAZY.

And I was thinking scattered lakes too. Just so we can abuse use some of the fun water summons.

[Akhier the Dragon hearted]

   Now I just need to find such a map or randgen till I get what we want. If anyone knows of a good cozy map for 9-10 people suggestions are appreciated.

[EuchreJack]

If we have no water nation, I'm fine with no water provinces.  Submarine warfare isn't my specialty.  Captain Nemo I'm not.

[Akhier the Dragon hearted]

   Yes it would be nice but I don't want to cut out the water queens which can only be summoned underwater.

[EuchreJack]

Good point.

[bulborbish]

Ok, I just went through every map on llama server. None of them really appealed to me, which makes me think that wanting a medium sized map may be an issue, especially for 10 players (most maps seemed to be set up for either 8 or 12 players. Water also seemed to be too concentrated on the maps I thought we're good province wide to allow people to cook up goodies in private.

To be honest, I also am wondering if we should have a wrap map. It does keep the dynamic more interesting, and will probably add more fun to the planning in the game.

Leaving me to this suggestion: should we go and run map gen looking for some good setups? If so, we can agree on the map gen settings and have everyone gen a couple until we find a satisfactory map.

[Akhier the Dragon hearted]

   Hmm, the biggest problem I have with using a random map is at that point I would probably just make my own map even if it wouldn't be as pretty. For now since we are technically waiting for a person still I think we should just let others try and find a good map. There are other resources out there for Dom3 maps. Of course your welcome to randgen some maps to see if you find anything cool looking.

I'd be willing to get in on this. As far as nations go, if you want to deal with a seafaring nation, I'd be game for Atlantis. If you prefer to keep it entirely terrestrial, I could be persuaded to settle for Vannheim. I'm good with Early, CBM, graphs, renaming, and 50 magic. As to maps... hmm. What about Shadowshore (120/13), Map For Old Kings (135/18), or Plane of Rusty Nails 10 + 1 (143/12)? If you can take something bigger, Greece Stain 9 + 1 (181/18) looks decent too...

[Edit: All map suggestions made with having an aquatic nation in mind. If we don't have one, more lakeish lands become reasonable to consider...]

[Akhier the Dragon hearted]

   We don't mind an aquatic nation. It was just that no one had taken one yet so we had to plan for the instance of someone not wanting to have one. I will slate you down for Atlantis. As for the maps I will check them.

[Il Palazzo]

Ooh, it's E.Albright! And he's playing Atlantis. I'm almost tempted to elbow my way in with Niefel
But I shan't. I'll just watch.

   11 isn't that much more then ten and if you can suggest a medium sized map that looks good and you can find a download link for it still then I will gladly offer up this game to you as another land through which to conquer.

NinjaEdit: Just to make it clear your invited and maybe you know of a map which works and you can provide a download link for as that would be helpful.
