Okay, so, contrary to what the email says you have 30h per turn for the moment, although I encourage everyone to take as little as possible to make the first year or two fly.

Anyone want to volunteer as assistant admin? I really doubt it'll be needed, but it can't hurt and maybe it'll help me loathe admining a little less than usual...

[Il Palazzo]

Sure, I can be your henchman. PM me the password.

Are these guys new? Don't think I've seen them before.

[E. Albright]

They've been around since beta as far as I can remember.

[USEC_OFFICER]

Seriously, it's like everybody took nature and earth on their pretenders. Such creativity, guys!

Geez, it's almost as if Major Nature and Minor Earth blesses are the best in the game or something. _{Though with sacred mages and complete lack of Earth magic, Veroor is kinda locked into an Earth bless of some sort. Especially since their sacreds are crap.}

Hahaha... You've kinda caught me without access to Doms for the next couple of days, so can I get an extension until Saturday? I'll try to get it in earlier than that, but currently it's impossible for me to get it done in 30 hours right now. Sorry about that.

[E. Albright]

Sure, I'll push it to 23h UMT Saturday.

This map is a little aggressive with packing in the start locations - you don't usually see an enemy capital with your scout on turn 2.

[E. Albright]

Yeah, I'm starting to think this is worse than Peliwyr for spacing, and Peliwyr's bad...

(Hexiwyr is lovely, but it's also substantially bigger...)

PSA:

Ah, Biddyn, how does my loathe for you ever grow? Let me count the ways...

[AlStar]

Well, today's turn was rather disastrous. Hopefully I can recover from this setback.

[Darkwind3]

Ugh. I took an awake expander and I'm looking at potentially a single-digit number of total provinces. With some luck, I could maybe get the average number of provinces per player!

...with an awake expander.

[Il Palazzo]

I hear Hoburg lands are rich and poorly defended!

[E. Albright]

I would love to be able to entertain non-farcical hopes of getting all the way up to "average per-player province count" before the expansion phase is over.

Somewhere on this map there has got to be wide open space.

Probably full of tricksy hoburgs.

Sorry about that, we can always discuss our borders via PMs if you want to avoid it happening again in the future.

I think I finally have a handle on what bothers me about Pymous's maps. It's not the number of provinces, it's the province-to-connection ratio. They're too densely interconnected for how small they are. That's great for a blitzy metagame, but we've always been more heel-draggy here. When I can take the provinces directly adjacent to 5/7 capitals and they constitute over a third of the map, that's a bit extreme. I'm pretty sure we'd get to half the map if I added in the immediate environs of the two nations outside the cramped and fateful triangle. It's nice that almost all provinces work as start provinces, but I'd rather have some definitely-non-start provinces that are more "transitional" even if that means *gasp* chokepoints.
