[Spoilers] PBEM3 Map Planning

[darrelljs]

Okay, so they want highlands. Square Leg had the good idea of combining that in with an inland sea. We get the cool effect of only two fronts like in PB2, without the expense issues due to toroidal wrap. He also suggested we put an island in the middle of the sea that requires galleys and has 3ish of a resource not typically available on highlands maps. I thought these were all good ideas, so that's what I'm doing.

I'll post a diagram with dimensions later tonight (don't recall the X/Y lengths off the top of my head).

P.S. Who wants to bet that everyone's top leader will be Brennus? I'm really surprised no one suggested a band on he and Boudica .

Like a ninja head band?

That map sounds fun. I'd have thought Suryavaraman would be a very hgih up pick. So would Shaka i suppose.

I don't see a reason to hold off posting the player's draft order here:

Twinkletoes089
1) Bismarck (Germany)
2) Asoka (India)
3) Rameses II (Egypt)

In hindsight, having seen the first 4 picks.... me! me! me!

What does everyone thing about having the capitals all connect to the lake by rivers?

I'll repost here what I had in the PBEM3 thread:

Standard Highlands is 64x40, Small is 52x32.



And someone putting Sury first makes me smile inside. Although, ivory needs to be balanced: In or out?

[darrelljs]

SleepingMoogle steals my list!

1: Brennus
2: Boudica
3: Kublai Khan

Ivory is going to be removed for sure. Depending on the barbs setting, I'm tempted to put Horse under Forest.

When Darrell and I chatted earlier we thought it best to remove ivory completely.

I think linking all the capitals to the lake is a grand idea but drawing rivers is pretty tricky in the world builder! Good luck!

1: Brennus
2: Boudica

Someone wants the celts!
