Krill.
[SPOILERS] Lurkerloos and map discussion
|
You've got the map right rego?
If your willing you could publish it. (Krill hasn't said either way, we're just assuming he doesn't want it posted.)

Well since I feel like Krill "owns" the map I don't know that I feel great about posting it without his consent. Even though I did and do disagree with the idea that not knowing the map makes the game more "fun" for the lurkers. Still, if he's not really following this game (though maybe he is silently lurking) and consensus is for reveal, I could probably be talked into it.
In the meantime, here's a little teaser. As you've no doubt seen, the landforms are pretty snaky, but there are 3 distinct landmasses. The "big" continent has 7 civs The "smaller" continent has 2 civs And one, lonely civ is all alone on an island.

Just the teaser puts a lot into perspective.
New lurker here! Hopefully, I'm not overstepping by offering my 2 cents.
Personally, I like not seeing the map. The anticipation of conflit between Commodore & Scooter is made more interesting by NOT knowing if Commodore has Iron. I suppose that I could just not look, but the comment boards will give it away. I don't think that Scooter has seen the Copper south of them. While Commodore hasn't seen the copper north of Scooter. Commodore's thinking that there's a low chance that he could beat Scooter there so he may not try. Intereting times!
Another vote for not seeing the map. It's been common practice to reveal it, but I think it may actually add something to the lurking experience to have limited knowledge, like the players do.
Another option might be to post an overview screenshot, so you can better see who is next to whom, but not down to the level of seeing everyone's starting areas in detail (which minus non-revealed resources we've already kind of seen)
