Thats fine.


Also for everyone in general. I have looked at a number of maps and a couple stick out for me when it comes to 8 players with one being water.

Peliwyr(129 land + 17 sea) looks amazing and seems like a good map

The Old Kingdom(127 Land + 25 Water) is also quite decent and has a bit more water to it

Any other suggestions are welcome though as I noted in the first post I don't want any of the hex maps.

The Old Kingdom looks super pretty, already had a game on Peliwyr myself.

Reminder that starting tommorow, I'll be gone till the 20th.

Conan Larp sounds like fun btw

[Akhier the Dragon hearted]

Conan Larp sounds amazing.


Also since ThtblovesDF has already played on Peliwyr recently the preference will be with The Old Kingdom unless others suggest different maps or  someone else has played on The Old Kingdom, in which case it is back up in the air. (we may play a map someone has played before if that is how the cookie crumbles)

I like Peliwyr more. Maybe put up a poll?

[Akhier the Dragon hearted]

Yep, I will wait a bit in case someone has another map suggestion though once we get the final player I will put a poll up.

[E. Albright]

Not a player, but do be aware that Pel is another Pymous map. It's not as densely connected as their hex maps, but it's more densely connected than an average map with the same number of provinces. We used it in 4.10 with 9 players and 15 thrones, and it worked fairly well... but it was cramped. Oh, and there was the bit where two of us started two provinces away from each other. The rest were better, and it'd obviously be better with 8, but it was still tighter than it seemed like it would be.

[Hatman]

How many water provinces are there on the old kingdom map? From eyeballing it it looks like if we had only one UW player, they would have a fairly overwhelming advantage in an 8 player game.

EDIT: JUST SAW YOU'D ALREADY POSTED THAT INFO - a sixth of the provinces being underwater is great for a 6 player game, bad for an eight player one. between that and my already having Peliwyr installed, I vote Peliwyr.

25, which is 1/6th of the provinces on the map...

Poll up

[Marmaduke]

I voted Peliwyr for the production value, it is candy for the eyes. However, while the Old Kingdom has connected seas, I remember the sea provinces are divided in multiple groups in Peliwyr, so it might be difficult on Oceania...

Chances are they'll spawn in the big ocean, which looks like it has 10 provinces in it. Now, if we split the land provinces between everyone else equally, we'll get to 18 per person with 3 odd provinces leftover, so they'll have to make landfall to stay viable, it seems. But MA Oceania has some amphibious stuff, iirc, so that shouldn't be too hard to pull off in the early game.

Hey, I've found this very pretty map here:
http://www.moddb.com/games/dominions-4-thrones-of-ascensions/addons/ragnarok-comes-15328-horizontal-wraparound

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

It's a bit larger (153+28), and unusual in being horizontal wraparound only. Anyone up for giving it a try?

[AlStar]

We played that map for game 426. It's not a bad map, although it's worth noting that all the water provinces are connected; so there's quite a bit of territory that our water nation will have pretty much uncontested.

[Akhier the Dragon hearted]

I have added it to the poll so if you prefer it you can change your vote.

We have two - Agartha is fully amphibian.
