Strategus wipe - new features - vote for your continent!

We do have a lot of talented artists here. Worse comes to worse you could "blow up" the map for more room, but I highly recommend making a sticky calling for artists to submit map prototypes, and emphasize that terrain does matter with the new strat (like mountains not crossable etc).

Give a proportionate map of the earth a try?

Give the NA clans something to fight over and also give the europeans something to fight over. The "themed" clans also have areas outside of that to fight over, with the russians having so much rooms they cant find each other.

As said before, creating a new map is, for this round, not in the realm of possibility. It would require a system to duplicate scenes, according to their location, create castles, etc etc.

This is simply too much work for now. It is something that we're interested in, though.

Which is coincendently one of the 2 choices you did.

CHOICE NUMBER 2!

I think that is probably the simplest division

very well done +1, its the division based on chadz's survey numbers and sicne the west is more diffuse with fiefs its not a ridiculously compact area.  Also, almost all NA clans were east before so no pre-claimed areas, everything up for grabs so more dynamic action.  Full approve, nice work braeden.

Not a big fan of that one Anders, its way too restrictive for its size (narrow bridge between desert and west thats NA, and leaves all the easily travelled lands in EU territory only.

I like choice number one for what chadz posted, but for obvious biased reasons.

Disagree. I think the chadz #2(which was also my choice) Is better. It Clearly, via natural boundaries demarks the NA/EU split, with a small section that's not, but has large open space therby making things easy to differentiate. It also shakes up the more warlike EU factions(Risen, Bashi, blah blah) into having to take other area's away from preclaimed lands. It unfortunatly still leaves the big 3 EU factions(Fallen, Greys, DRZ) with their already held claims.

Also, if they do add in boundries to the map(impassable mountains, etc) if makes the NA side for more interesting. THe EU side gets less terrain advantages, while the NA gets far more Terrain hinderences further making attacks by EU clans harder.

We will stick our selfs in any spot and defend it till the last man, you happened to try the same and got squashed last time.

Its extremely compact, making anyone playing essentially on the border with EU, whereas map 1 actually makes it a solid landmass where if you are  small NA clan that doesnt want to be on the border, you dont have to be.  Map 2 gives way too big an advantage to Eu side, whereas Map 1 is more balanced.

[Lt_Anders]

Truth be told, the only part not really compact is the center part of the map. Most of the map IS compact.

You'd fend off angry NA clans, on NA ping, and NA times to hold your claims? Damn stupid EU. If that's how you wanna play ball, your grave.

[Jarlek]

Same.

[chadz]

I actually doubt that a lot of NA vs EU is going to happen. I cant see the reason why someone would put himself at such a disadvantage, ping wise.

The advantage for NA in having a long landmass is actually trading, though (gives bonus based on distance, so the longer you can travel without touching the "enemy" continent, the better for the gameplay)

However, currently we're favoring #1 (NA in the north)
