The new game
is up. I figure this is the place to have the "PETER!?!?!?!?!?" discussion. Basically, it came down to three things: On the Earth map, Louis is Creative, and Elizabeth is not. On the Shuffle map as originally posited, Catherine is Creative, while Saladin is not. Elizabeth can make up for that disadvantage by being able to settle more cities on the British Isles. Being stuck in France without Creative, Saladin will have no such luxury. So I did it for him. Secondly, Catherine is one of the "core" leaders, and I feel that she deserves a better game than the freakshow this game could potentially devolve into. And finally, well, after the last game, the Cathy jokes are a little played out, wouldn't you agree?
