Tested 11 thrones with my copy of the map, started without issue. It only reports failure to find positions for nations, I think. Must have had more than 1 AI roll a UW nation.

All the provinces that didn't specifically have starts assigned to them are marked as no-start, to avoid the game doing Dumb Things - so it would literally be impossible to have more than one water nation, or more than 10 land nations.

Agartha is the only cavestart nation afaik, unless ma xibalba is too. I know I checked ea xibalba, and it wasn't, but I'm not sure if ma xibalba is.

[Edit: I checked: no-starts were set in the original dawn of dominions map]

Always remember that the AI left to it's own devices will throw a wrench in things. A test game I ran for Round 23 led to the AI rolling 2 underwater nations in a game where there were 3 sea provinces. Out of 5 random AI nations. That's when I learned to just hit L before a game starts to force them to be land nations and then pick water nations as necessary.

Anyway, does seem like everyone +1 is in here. I'll send a message to thtblovesDF letting them know that in case they wanna wait for an extra player to pop in or would rather start the game right away.

If the other two slots do get filled, folks should be spaced evenly, instead of there being empty space around two empty starts which could provide a benefit to the players whose starts are near those starts.

Well, other one slot at the moment. Frank signed up and managed to submit a pretender fairly quickly.

There are 11 total starts. (9+1water+1cave)

Spoiler: map with starts and thrones (click to show/hide)

[chaoticag]

Well, we only have a max of 10 players on the server as it is currently setup. I think that is what lead to our misunderstanding. I'm not certain why it wasn't set to 8 or 11 instead, but Seems to be that way, so I was under the impression that there were 10 starting positions. Not that I gave that away with my last post or anything.

Updated to 11

Added map to first post

Adjusted Title etc




A thing to consider - a lot of province connections are affected by heat or cold on this map.

We start on Saturday, if we have 11 or not. Yes, it will suck that one player has more. Let's just beat him/her up ; )

ETA: some hours

[Gigalith]

Just a heads up for anyone running Linux, the map you get from moddb won't work out of the box. You'll have to rename "dawn_of_bridges.tga" to "Dawn_of_bridges.tga", or it'll crash.

[ThtblovesDF]

We have lauched : ) - check your starting locations and have fun.

[Frank2368]

Wow this is crazy, I played 2 games on this map against AI just to test it out, got the same start, and again this same one in this MP game 

[Jilladilla]

The die is cast, the game is set. Once more the cycle of infinite madness spins on.
I wish you all good luck and fun in the times ahead.

The starts are locked, and each nation has preferences. There's only a couple starts of each type, so you're very likely to always start in the same place on this map.
