Sitting and Speculating

If it isn't 200K NS, NNK doesn't get a spot on the map, so I shall fight for my one territory until I get bored!

Somebody should do one based on population, not NS.

Population might be good. Maybe somebody will create a thread with all versions posted in it

And Alistair, you could always just reach 1mil and party with the big boys

Wanna help us out with that?

You can start by sending me 3m

Although I like the 2nd idea first, it should be changed to "And small alliances at least are able to get one territory by default" so not to exclude them.

To still benefit the stronger alliances, they get to pick territories first, and then the little ones take from the leftovers.

Also NoR has dibs on Berlin, Norway and Northern Germany (Depending on how much of it we can occupy.

totally unrelated to anything in this post but i think i would die of happiness if total war had a mod that let me play the Original Version map linked in the new cn thread.

I might consider alliances between 200k and 1mil being allowed 1 territory each. We'll see...this isn't actually a bad idea.

Alistair: NO U

I like your idea, Caleb. I think it could work and add an extra element to a game that has a limited number of elements as-is. One thing that drastically needs to change is the use of Google Maps (read: a map of the Earth) in game. I'm not a fan of the "all nations are perfectly round, are perfectly centered around their capital, and can be just as easily placed in the middle of the Pacific Ocean as they can be placed in Niger". Some sort of realism is preferable, perhaps a border that can be reshaped.

Thanks.

I agree...we should be able to bend shapes of our nations, and not go into oceans, etc. Eventually (I doubt it would ever happen, however...) I would love to see CN incorporate this into the game. Then, nations are only allowed to be placed within their alliances borders. Another map will be placed for alliances under 1mil NS, and those not in alliances, or too small to be recognized don't get a spot. This encourages nations to join REAL alliances.

Who knows, it may happen one day.
