Decline 9 - Dominion Zen Masters [ AUXILIARY BOOSTERS IGNITED ]

[Grimwulf]

Grimwulf has a really nice map in the works I'd love to give a spin. ETA 1 week. Or if we are super eager we start with a different map today.

Why don't you create a game page now, so people can send their Pretenders in? You can change map anytime before the game starts.

As for my map, it has only 3 UW provinces that are not even connected. If at least one of the players took UW nation, it won't work.

Do it. I am out of town until late evening.

It's ok, I'm a patient man.

Well then such a map is obviously out of the question. Because I got an UW nation.

 

[Dreaad]

Can we just play on.

It's pretty enough for me. Or are you all jaded veterans that can't stand this map anymore?

 

[sqeecoo]

I am also

No, the map looks ugly and boring.

It looks great, but has some balance issues. Namely, almost no bottlenecks. Every river has a bridge; you got mostly plains or border mts everywhere, and stuff like that. Which results in more diplomacy-centric gameplay.

I'm fine with that, though - just thought the others would like to know. As for me, I will accept any map as long as it's not Valanis.

 

[Malakal]

No, not the gang rape central again, I have nightmares still.

Its also why Im trying to fit a tribless tbh...

 

[Grimwulf]

the gang rape central

This description nails the essence of the map.

 

[Dreaad]

What about taking fantamagoria

Spoiler

And changing it to only wrap around in one direction instead of both.

 

[Malakal]

Fantamagoria is very beautiful but it is rather water heavy.

 

[Grimwulf]

I heard rumors that we'll have two UW nations in this game.

 

[mondblut]

Hey hoverdog. I recommend picking something that is capable of withstanding early war. Like, REALLY, REALLY EARLY WAR.

Sign me up for that. I've lost the only nation I had some mild idea on how to play with, and had to spend my weekend trying to get my hang with another one.

Thee jest is on you, hoverdog

 

[Malakal]

hoverdog I am in your debt however, lets be bros all right? Haters gonna hate.

at least I don't have to choose between Shinuyama and Machaka.

 

[Kane]

Hexawyr it is then. Gimme a couple of minutes.

* sea nations can only spawn on the two biggest sea. 2 can start in the biggest one, 1 max can spawn in the second bigger. Usually, with 2 sea nation, they will spawn on two different sea.

 

[Zibniyat]

raw, the map has some problems:

Water provinces 90 and 101 are not connected, even though they should be.

Well... that is it for now, but it is significant. Can someone fix this?

 

[sqeecoo]

I'm not a fan of unconnected lakes. Makes the UW guy starting in the smaller lake pretty screwed. And impossible to use your own aquatic troops in UW wars etc.

You are also guaranteed to start in one of the two large lakes, I think that is an acceptable tradeoff.
Anhur, well spotted. Grimwulf

 

[sqeecoo]

As Pelagia, I think it's kinda ridiculous that there's a good chance I'll only be able to use my sacreds in 6 (six) provinces. But you're the boss, what can I say.

At least the small lake south of the smaller sea should be connected though, to maintain parity with the larger sea.

 

[Grimwulf]

Grimwulf

What? I am the map guy now? Jezas Christ, you don't even need to script this stuff - you can fix it in the editor.

Water provinces 90 and 101 are not connected, even though they should be.

Anhur, well spotted.

Are you all drunk, men? These provinces are connected.

raw, you used that map in Decline 3, ffs. Just use the same damnable map for the game - it's absolutely alright. Except for it is

gang rape central

but I can't change that.
