I'll face you, unless you want a fast pace, because I can't guarantee that.

Regular Duel on the Classic map?

Oh, I've just noticed that Han has one regular Duel open with the Suburban map. Let's join that one, ok?

You must really have a lot of hair under that turban Sal.
Question everything.

Sal: Boy this map sucks when it comes to pop distrubution. Somebody should simply adjust the ini and increase the pop of those provinces that only have 50-60 pop. :)
I'd rather see the provinces starting with 160 having the number reduced rather than making the map even more populated. On the other hand uneven POP distribution makes the game more intense, do I risk running into my opponent who will probably try to take the highly populated province or will the less populated provinces suffice for the upcoming turn?

I know that in Advanced WoK you have to actually feed your POP, but don't tell me you're not going to simply go for Magicians (40:1 transformation ratio), especially as you will surely get some more mountainous provinces.

Well i didn't set the pop levels on the Soutern Reaches map they were standard like that. I just evened the starting provinces out for every one. :)

I think i do agree with Trewqh that lower pop is better (and more fun), but 50 is really low. :)

I know you said a slow pace, but come on!

This is now the only overdue game in the Lobby... :(

Hey, Sal, you did it on purpose! You knew my clan's motto is 'the clan that never sleeps' and still I went to sleep in this one. :P

My apologies. After i got back i tried to do my orders for the first round. But the map and the ton of options game me a big headache. Man this is a tough starting position to decide on what to do.

I'm still game to play this duel. I'll try and get my orders in for the first turn this weekend.

Sorry for the delay Trewqh!
