How can you support 2 AND 3?
2. Not all provinces have the same value (compare Western Europe with Siberia with the Sahara - the first is more desirable than the second than the third). If we redraw the map and make the provinces roughly the same size, for instance, more productive provinces should costs more than less productive ones.
3. The main issues with the provinces system is combat. In previous IOTs you have the problem where countries with large provinces (eg USA, China) gets conquered more easily.

Sorry that I haven't updated guys, I have been really busy the last couple days (4th of July 
) and haven't had a lot of access to the computer. But now the wait is over. It's tally time.
-redesigned map IIIIIIIIIIII/00
-"price value" for provinces IIIIIIIIIII/000
-get rid of the province system I/00000000000000
So I guess we're keeping the province system with overwhelming support
And, well, that's all the ideas we had. Where do we go from here? Do we continue with another round of ideas and voting? Do we take the ideas we have and iron them out (some of them do need some ironing out IMO)? Do we just set up the next game and try to implement these ideas the best we can (if so, who's going to be the GM?)?
Really? I could have sworn that got booted... but I don't really feeling like digging through all the votes again (that was the really messy vote), so how about we do a recount.
Voting: Round 11

Yay! You saw!!

I think that after this vote we should iron out what we need to a bit. Like the etiquette. For the next game I can't be the GM - I have Star Wars: Galactic Empires AND Realpolitik. I think also that all that can be said has pretty much been said on this subject, so we should do what we gotta do and then get into the next game ASAP.
BTW, civplayah, my combat system is on trial ATM in SW:GE, so we'll see.

That idea is nice, but I think it would make the game a little complicated. Simplicity is the greatness of IOT. So, I vote No.
