If you want my opinion eliminations are not going to happen very easily. The hub shaped map adds a lot of travel time to non amphibious invasions. And the spokes of the wheel are easy to scout and defensible.
Knoedel if there is Marble on this hub I will do everything in my power to make sure you do NOT have it!!!

If I find Marble anywhere near the center I will settle a city right on top of it and call it Knoedelopolis just to rub it in your face.
Or how about Victorytown? Triumphville? Inyarfacia? Ownagestadt? Trollolograd?
Maybe I should create a poll and see what others think?
sent along to filon...
the vikings continue to search for signs of life... nothing but desert every other square!
Really? The Mali expeditions can´t make a single step without getting attacked by wildlife.
We had one panther that was hiding out in a small square of forest die at the hands of our scout, but otherwise nothing... no signs of life, no players, and mostly desert.
The Vikings will be taking up religion to pray for survival with this start!!
