Why do you 'like' this game?

Interesting, rarely used setting (early 20th Century)
Good mix of strategy and management gameplay, but with simple rules
Semi-freeform diplomacy (and backstabbings!)
All of the above
I'm just forum game addict and gotta play'em all

I find it an interesting challenge, really.  Changes initial strategy and all that.  I'd have picked a bit different traits if I knew it was coming, of course.

Toaster is not as far out as you imply. He's 8 provinces away from my capital, and a mere 7 away from Catan.

If you'd given me 4,7, 48 and 47 instead of 8, 11,12,13.

And given Catan 49, 50, 51 instead of 7,47 and 29.

And given Toaster 50, 98 instead of 93 and 92

Because now you have silly countries being 1 province thick, and countries that take 2 turns to cross even with railroads everywhere.
Uh, that's actually pretty far away?

And what about my country? If you took away some of my southern provinces and shifted them where yours were my capital would likely border Arcadia.

You would cut off Radman's provinces.

Again, Radman's provinces would be cut off and you'd have to pick that up elsewhere. I don't think you appreciate how much time it probably took Haspen to get all the countries looking the way they are now without breaking any rules.

He already broke one of his 2 rules. And besides, what is the Radman for if not to pick up leftover provinces.

Yes, but it still has to be continuous nation v:

Tada. All nations are connected and Continuous. No player capital connected to another player's land. Player countries make somewhat more sense. Also looks nicer, in my opinion.

No player capital connected to another player's land.

Besides, your capital is connected to Catan now. Since Radman never attacks, that's worse.

Your capitals are only 1 province seperated, there's simply no other option.

Quick, someone write a mapping program that creates these maps automatically!

That would actually be a rather interesting map, since it divides the world in two, with Radman being the center.

I must say, that was an accident, rather than intended.

So, is it 4 research and 4 trade, or a combo of the two?
