There is also this one that was specifically made for MP:Welcome. We have 14 players.
The votes on Diplomacy, if I got 'em right, make Binding Diplo the winning option.
It seems that we'll have Cataclysm, and I'll evaluate on my retarded take when it's proper. We had a suggestion for turn 80, but maybe it's too far. Or maybe it's now.
Mapgen... Custom Map won.
I'm not particularly inclined to download and playtest a shitton of maps from Blitzserver, so I did a bit of search on the workshop. We're 14 players so 210 provinces is the "gold standard".
Edowyn (174 land, 43 sea)
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3148993859&searchtext=
It's a Pymous map. So it's pretty as fuck and probably a complete PITA to play. Also 43 sea provinces ffs
Floating Arcipelago (169 land and 20 sea)
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3213514239&searchtext=
A tad too small for our interests, also pretty as fuck and probably also completely fucking unplayable.
Orania (provinces: 259 land and 20 sea)
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3264772717&searchtext=
It's a ported Dominions 2-era map. I quite like it and it looks playable. It's a tad too big for our interests and it would result in a 19 province expansion par player, changing somewhat the initial expansion routine.
Please make your opinion heard. Also if you found some better options I'll be delighted to include them.
Regarding Mods, Worthy Heroes has a handful of votes. I'd like also more votes on the Gem Longevity Mod (https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3270479661). I can understand why people like it, but I personally find it iffy and I'll need to test it on a lobby for compatibility issues. But if the majority wants it, I'll gladly concede.
PLS REPLY I VALUE EVERYONE'S OPINION ON THE MATTER

How about Snerdryn for the map? 127 land + 20 sea provs
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3146452765&searchtext=
Happy to go with WH, although it doesn't really seem to do much for the newer nations.
I'm kind of on the fence regarding the gem longevity mod? Not that I usually live to see the lategame, but I've seen gem use baiting in the past...
The first map looks pretty.Welcome. We have 14 players.

Most of the sprites are really nice. The devs should just buy it from the modder and include it into the game, since they themselves don't really feel updating 20yo sprites.I like the vanilla sprite overhaul too but probably unneccesary.
I still think the in game map gen is the best option.Maybe the in game map generator is best after all haha...
Ugly aside, the map gen isn't that lacking in playability. Unless a map exactly designed for 14 land nations is found, pretty custom maps are only pretty.
Agreed and agree. In game map gen is best option. And it looks good too.I'll work on some randomly generated maps. Sighs

You don't know how much I agree.
You can do a lot of different things with map nuke, both in terms of layout and textures.Yeh its a bit sad there arent many newer maps cropping up but from my brief look at designing maps myself I kinda understand why. Need autism and a degree and a thousand hours!

Remember to set up bro with wastes or its anti semitic!I'll work on some randomly generated maps. Sighs

What's the standard for that? If you don't like the textures in previous game (which are already better than ingame mapgen imo), you can look for / make new textures for mapnuke to use.But you can't make it not ugly.You can do a lot of different things with map nuke, both in terms of layout and textures.Yeh its a bit sad there arent many newer maps cropping up but from my brief look at designing maps myself I kinda understand why.
