The War of the Triple Crown

Ok, there is a legend. It's not the best legend, but it should explain the gameplay features, I hope. Thoughts? (I know the color doesn't look good, I'll change it later.)

I'm kind of agreeing here that I should apply for supersize. There really isn't enough room for everything. I think there should be more cities and villages, especially villages. And I like the idea of having other bonuses, such as food supplies, forts, etc.

How do I go about applying for supersize? Who do I need to talk to?

Well first of all you can easily add in food supplies and such on the territories you have. Figure out what other bonus items you want to have, put them on the map, add them into the legend, and we'll go from there for supersize. We would like you to try and stay within the normal size of 840x800 for the large or 630x600 for the small as much as possible. If the gameplay warrants a bigger map, then while you are in the Drafting room you can apply for supersize status by putting it in your OP and the title so we know.

You need to change the font in the legend as it is very hard to read.

I'm not so sure I can fit in the extras that I would like right now. Currently, there are only 28 city/village free, non starting-neutral territs. I want the map to have a starting position for each player and the rest be random drop. So there's not too many places left for me to put anything. I really need more territs, I think. More territs for a few more cities, a lot more villages, some food sources, maybe forts, and more random drop positions. As of now, with 8 players, there's not even enough to give each player 4 randomly dropped territs. That means each player would start with 4 territs.

I understand I'll have to wait a while to apply for supersize, but I'm just not seeing how I'm going to fit anything else in there without giving up the idea of random drop and making it pure conquest gameplay. The main problem with that, is the major differences of the empires, the proximity of certain starting territs...etc. It would require a very large amount of balancing to make it work with the way the map is laid out currently. It could be done, just means a heck of a lot more work.

And no problem on the legend, I can change the font.
