I support a 5 as well, but if you won't go that low again, 7 is better than 10.

no keep it as it is. if this gets done you will see that regions on das scholls arms race jamaica feudal will all start asking to get changed. the reason it is 10 is because you bust 2 10s (like feudal) to transport you to a area you know the opposition is in.

These. It will change the gameplay somewhat, but I think it will make it a better map overall, so 6-7 would be perfect for them.

After some investigation it seems that the "disappeared poll" could be a forum issue related with old topics. I suggest you to start a new topic in the foundry discussion subforum and start the same poll there. Sorry for the inconvenience cairnswk, I know it's not a real solution but right now it's the safer one I have for you.

The Pinta Tortoise that was indigenous to the Galapagos, has officially gone extinct.

The last known individual of the subspecies was a male named Lonesome George (Spanish: El Solitario Jorge/George),[5] who died on 24 June 2012. In his last years, he was known as the rarest creature in the world. George served as a potent symbol for conservation efforts in the Galápagos and internationally.

since you posted this 6 more species have died.
we currently lose an estimate of 3 species per hour.

we've been fighting to save the dolphins and the whales for years but in this whole time tens of thousands of other species have gone extinct.

Species of what, insects?

According to this list, only 40 have gone extinct in the last 100 years. 40 certainly is a high number, but you're saying tens of thousand species over the course of a couple decades.

all living things are split into 5 major kingdoms: animalia, plantae, fungi, protista, and monera.
if something from there dies then it counts as extinct.

sure, most people care more about a dolphin than some weird bug found in the amazonian rain forest or some amoeba found at the bottom of the sea.

obviously the number i've given is just an estimation. we can't say for sure how many species exist let alone how many die per day.
each year we discover 15-20 thousand new species and there's speculation we still have not discovered ~30 million species.

Guys since the extinction of species is an offshoot topic of this thread, can you please take this discussion to the General Discussion thread or elsewhere. One post i can suffer, but not a number of exchanges.
Now...back on topic please.

ok so now that it is down to 7 i look at this as unfair for 1 lugger to be at this.. lugger florena

this is because in trench if you go first or 2nd and have reef 7 you can go sf5 (3) lugger florena.(7) all others you either have a 1 4 7 or a 2 3 7 so either sf5 should be increased or that 1 lugger. what do you guys think.
