I've got a clever system:
So far I've seen "not balanced but purty" from Commodore, but that's about it - either I'm just too thick skinned to notice or I've been skimming...
I do feel bad for Grimace, even though some of his troubles are self-inflicted, but I think everyone else has dealt with their starts pretty well. Borsche was one I was concerned for at the beginning, but he seems to have expanded well. I guess an unintended balance for the players still with backlines to expand to is the amount of barb action they're seeing. (  retep).

Whats the number of land tiles per player here? It looks like a pretty fun ratio to me, but with my last PBs being 18 and 19, tight games are looking really attractive right now.

I'll grant that 19 was a big map but my 18 played out in a matchbox. You just conquered too many people.

I get the feeling people want to play on a map that isn't that cramped.
out of interest, what's the average number of tiles per player here?

I can't help myself, it's a curse. Does RB have any good support groups? 
I found the land tiles number in Comms thread, figured he'd have it somewhere. 130 tiles per player.

That's around the number of tiles that PB15 had but with more water. Pretty tight.

Grimace just pointed out that he has laid claim to Commodore's only nearby source of iron, unless there happens to be one on the islands that he didn't notice/can't see.

I deliberately did not point it out on Grimace's thread, but isn't there Iron 2W of the cows in the Commodore territory?

 which took some restraint. 
Anyone think that saying "are you sure" would be too much?

Can't be too much. It's right there in the screenshot.
