The guys at Apolyton have developed and used a few balanced maps for PitBoss. Next game I host will be using one of them. Also an unbalancing factor in this game was the huts. PAL had insane luck for tech with their hut pops.

Network Socket Error, Elucidus needs to repeat his turn.

whiplash... I would be interested in that game where will you post about it.
Would that mean everyone knows the layout before the game starts?

I think they were together "enough", distance-wise, for the most part. The problem is that some islands are isolated from others and, unless the map is pre-generated to have exactly even numbers of starting locations together everywhere, it won't be perfect and really imbalance the game.
In this case here, it wasn't so bad until everyone realized the layout and reacted to it. I don't think Robi D's England had a really good shot at survival once the world map was known. Not that the invasion wasn't conclusive - it was pretty good actually - but it does tilt the balance.

A local ice storm has me disconnected from my ISP. My cable company is sending a tech to check the wiring Wednesday morning. The game will be down until then.
Does any other team think that they can beat PAL, by this i mean does STG think they can? (no offence to CFC but they're nearly as out of it as we are!)
Just it seems little point carrying on playing whilst PAL rack up the points for whatever victory they want.

My ISP is connected again so I guess they fixed the problem somewhere outside of the building. Game will go back up in 22 hours.
Beating PAL would be a challenge...
But a challenge you think you've got any hope in doing? Im quite happy to go down fighting in the hope someone will beat them but not so much in 50 turns where you realise you can't.

Game is back up. I moved back a little on the reload for clock time. 1080AD, seven have played the turn with 15 1/2 hours left on the clock.

Game just crashed on me while I was doing my turn. Whiplash hopefully you are around right now to fix it, because if not there's a big issue this turn if I miss playing mine because of the crash and I'll ask for a reload from my last login tonight so that I can do so. I only have half an hour before I have to leave for work though.
