Suggest # of players for each map

* Some maps are designed for a different number of players. That should be included in the map description

* Specifics: list the number of territories for each map, and the recommended number of players for each map, maybe below the map, or on the map preview from the game selection screen.
* Why it is needed: If each player on the map has 12 armies, then the ones who go first will have an advantage, because the later players will lose a territory and only get 3 armies per turn

I don't believe this one is necessary, yes you might not have as good of a chance because you go last, but i know many players that deploy and don't attack their first turn, so this wouldn't always be a problem. I really don't think any of the maps have an optimal number (besides doodle earth perhaps), it just depends on the individual game.

Not sure if it's really needed and how much it would be followed. For example, everybody knows that Doodle Earth is a tiny map but it's still played with more than 2 players.

I'm gonna mix up two threads now a bit so I'm sorry about it.
But if the map sorting thingy would be applied then this would be a good way to sort the maps.

Maybe just how many territories are on a map, so you don't need to count them up, and you can decide on your own how many you think should play.

I would really like to create games on the world2 map with MORE than 6 players. Can we make that happen?
