Do we start with any units in the first round?

No units to begin with mate. You can create them in your first round though. ;)

You start with population though. :)

Just noticed, it's a bit unbalanced. It's set so that the maximum possible population received at the start of the game is 15000, but for polar regions it's 32500. Is it supposed to be this way? Note that this is if you roll ten tens for the first one and three tens for the second one.

Sorry guys, they're typos. The underground and polar regions are x100 not x1000. I'll fix it up in a minute.

Alrighty then guys, if you want to get your bits and pieces into me by Friday, we'll begin. The beauty of this game is that once we start, other people can still join in without being too unbalanced. ;)

@ Penty's various question.

Landmarks or general features, either works. It's intended to be landmarks, but you can count features if you wish. ;)

Projects do count towards attribute increases.

And yes to both questions regarding the Wardenfells. :)

Do we do the dice roll for population ourselves?

Yeah. ;)

Hmm, I've got a dice-roll code on my forum, but there's not one here... Shall I run the rolls for you then and link the results to the Battlehammer dice rolls thread?

Naa, I found a dice roller through google. It works well enough. I think you can do up to 100d100 with it. :P

PG, I hope you don't mind, but I've decided on trying my hand at remaking the map. You say that the island is a similar size to Australia but it looks terribly small to me. Just wondering if there was anything that you wanted me to add or anything missing in the map that you made. Inland water maybe? How would you like the center of the map? Where would you like the mountains? What is the grey area and the bluey-green looking area down in the south and is the darker green area in the east dense forests or mountains?

I'm planning on making a map similar to this one.

Thanks mate I am really armadilloty at cartography. :P

As far as mountains go, anything which looks kind of grey-ish is meant to be mountainous. The eastern border are the Wardenfells, that blue-green bit are the Black Fens which is dense swampland.

I've actually got a black and white world map, rather than just the continent one which I would be greatly appreciative if you deigned to re-draw that for me. http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showsinglepost.php?p=17715786&postcount=126 It's in there. Mountain ranges are just about the only things I've really nailed out. :P

As to lakes, rivers etc. carte blanche my friend. :P

It would be handy if I could get a rough explanation on where the snow and deserts are on the other two continents.

As far as Unterguardt and Varr go, basically all snow. ;)

As to Sothbayne, the northern lands are mainly wide grasslands with forests becoming more common once you pass the Southern Ranges.
