Tossing in a split vote for Sharivar or plane of rusty nails.  I feel silly voting for a 40+ water map with only one water nation.

[bulborbish]

Just Throwing out that I'll be preparing a few random gen worlds as alternatives if we don't commit to a map to add more samples for players.

Rusty Nails sounds good if we're not doing Cradle.

[bulborbish]

I will through my complete support behind the Land of Rusty Nails, so we can get on with sending in our silly completely serious pretenders.

   Okay this has gone on for a bit now and it seems that the rusty nails one is winning at the moment  so unless someone speaks out against it then soon as someone gives me a link to it (yes I am too lazy to go and find it myself  ) we will use it.

Link-fu

This was the first link I found.

Hmm... well. I'm going to put in a measured speaking-against from my POV, plus a word of caution for you landlubbers. There's no #nostart provinces, so for me, 5/12 start positions are economic death sentences. The breakdown is 4 1-neighbor, 1 2-neighbor, 3 3-neighbor, 3 4-neighbor, and 1 6-neighbor provinces. Despite this, all but the 6-neighbor share borders with at least 2 - but usually 5-6 - coastal provinces (my favorite is the 1-neighbor with 7 coasts). So if we play it unmodified, I have a worse-than-even chance of getting set up to starve for gold and resources, while the potential to drown in hostile dominion is more-or-less a given. I'm not saying I can't play like this, but I am saying that Plane is the single least hospitable of all the maps I purposed.

Also, it's not a huge map, but it is a VERY open one. There's almost no chokepoints out on land. It's wide open, which is at once dull, annoying, and ugly. So do take that into consideration.

If our choices are reduced to something Plane-sized, I'm going to vote against it in favor of Sharivar.

[Edit: doing my part in the fight against innumeracy. I.e., I can't count.]

   I don't care either way map wise but if you want to fix the rusty nails maps and we chose to use it I will gladly use your fix.

[E. Albright]

Okay, so, let's just have everybody do a fresh, new vote then. No splitting your vote, no voting both for and against. Just everyone lay out their highest preference from all the maps that currently have any support whatever, and if we tie we can run off the top two contenders. No sitting out the vote would be nice, too, so I'll start.

Voted: E. Albright, Burnt Pies, bulborbish, Antur.

Vote tally as of 1805 28 July 2013 (UTC):

Code: [Select]

Cradle of Dominion    0
Plane of Rusty Nails  0
Shadowshore           1
Shahrivar             2
Urraparrand           1


[E. Albright]

I'll vote Sharivar.

[Burnt Pies]

I'll vote for Shadowshore. Sharivar looks a bit too big.

[bulborbish]

I'll vote Urraparrand

[Antur]

I'll go with Sharivar.

[EuchreJack]

Could somebody upload a copy of the Sharivar map so I can decide on it?  I can't seem to download it from llamaserver, and I can only find misspelled versions online, which I don't know if they're right or not.

[E. Albright]

Shahrivar (Sombre version).
