What about magic? This is Tamriel after all. there is such a spell as night eye.

Useless spell, never bothered with it, heh.

Well once everyone gets a play test or two in, we'll chime in on if there are better positions, I could maybe think of a few though, but we'll see how everything turns out.

Yes let the play testing begin

well, i'm starting to wrap up my first game here.....getting owned might i add. haha. regardless. I think the bonuses may be too high...

I soon will have an open spot, and will hopefully get to play test your map. I'll chime in with my own thoughts later once that is going on, and then if there is a general consenus among quite a few people some changes can be implemented.

I've seen alot of talk about these embassy flags.. but.. what are they?

They are extra bonuses. If you hold the blue continent for example you get the standard bonus of 5 i believe. If you hold the country with the blue flag as well, you get another 2 armies added.

Oh, ok, makes sense

What does everyone think of the bonus values? I'm not sure, but i think they're a bit high, any thoughts?

Doesn't matter that they're high, it's hard enough to get a hold of an entire country then get the embessy as it is!

It's worth the reward for managing it.

My main concern is with Summerset isle and thorn being three. they seem to be captured very easily, and consistently. Plus its not too difficult to take summerset isle's embassy, making that a bonus of 5

ok i wanna tell u now, this is one of the best maps that came out, love the embassy idea its a nice touch, the colors are well done, u can easily see the country bonuses and tell which colors they are, the whole thing has a great look to it,
i give it 2 thumbs up great job.

Thanks, i appreciate that

Hmm. It is true that that's how the one game I've played in on that map went: one player got Summerset and its embassy early on, had a strong lead for most of the game, and ultimately won. Dunno if this really means anything, but it's more anecdotal evidence, at least.

Curiously, in my first game there (still playing), I got Summerset Island, and I started already with its embassy... It can happens too... If I would need take it, it will be very hard. Anyway, if yellow continent has a embassy, because of its central position, we always will have guys talking that its easy take that country... Of course, it could be a embassy of a more difficult continent... but not now, I want win first.

I'm playing several games in it right now and I think it's great.

From what I've seen so far, the bottom half of the map is extremely powerful.

i agree

... im so happy this is a map.... im gonna go put on a new paor of pants

In game 21833 I got the bonus for holding Hammerfell's embassy, which appears to be located in Thorn, despite my opponent holding that country.

hmmm, i'll check that out.

Ok, i sent lack the fix.

You did a good job, mate. I especially like the embassies, a nice touch.

The mountains seem a bit too shiny to me, but that's just my opinion. They're alright.

I too am a big fan of this map. I find you can start anywhere and win.
