How about 6 lvl 1, 4 lvl 2, and 2 lvl 3.

1.3 per nation.

Go ahead.
You're the most experienced here probably.

I like the randomness and the throne events, but if you are out for a more balanced approach it's probably better to have less.

Well then:

Map: Valanis

Thrones: Yes

Do we want to do a disciples game, or a regular game?

Considering how everyone's already picked a nation based on the assumption that you won't be playing a disciple game... That sounds like a decision you've already made.

It doesn't hurt to ask.

And score graphs off.

I'll gen some maps tomorrow, post them, and then we can start.

Okay, we are using the map titled R.Gen Mk3. It's at the bottom of the llamaserver map list.

I'll create the game now. Everyone please get pretenders ready.

https://mega.co.nz/#!wZdDiDaK!Yl0xPk37Je1MMft8vaWgwW61fM5AYAhkzaGGGBtHRA8

The two are all you need. Just dump both in your map folders


Or do you all still want Valanis?

Okay, downloaded maps and made a pretender... what's the game name to upload this to?  Also:  I have no idea what I am doing.

Well, I've seen two other players who want it (and I'm not counting you saying you like it) :
Valanis and Pelywyr look nice but out of the two i'd prefer Valanis.
I'm personally a fan of Valanis.

It's well designed, it has an original general pattern, unique landmarks so you always know where you are in the map, a nice cave network that makes sense, and it is beautiful.
I see no reason not to use it, especially if it's to use a randomly generated one map...

The map is beautiful, but it's not all that balanced. The extensive cave network gives any underground (Agartha :P) player a significant advantage, and the start positions (last I saw) aren't extremely helpful. You can start instantly cornered and restricted by 2-3 nations, all of whom also suffer if and when the RNG decides to give them 10% of the map while giving the rest of the players 90% of the map. I'd suggest that you open up the map in the editor, toss some start positions in a sort of balanced way (far enough from any enemies, neighbour to provinces that are sort of equal to what others get) and maybe distribute the throne provinces in a fairish way. That way you can enjoy the most the map can give you with the minimal effort required.

Me miserable! which way shall I fly
Infinite wrath, and infinite despair?
Which way I fly is Hell; myself am Hell;
And, in the lowest deep, a lower deep
Still threatening to devour me opens wide,
To which the Hell I suffer seems a Heaven.

My pretender is sent in.  I am pretty sure I made some bad decisions, but OH WELL LETS PLAY.
