Oh no, not at all! It's just that there's an option to be notified via email when the beta is ready, that's all. Well shoot. My whole day is ruined then! (Okay, not really.) Can we still hold out hope for some playing time this weekend, or is that too optimistic?

Sweet. I've already registered my email address, so I'll be looking forward to my notification. :cool:

Also (speaking of diplomacy), can you have an "allied" victory in EoS? Or will you have to wipe out everyone else in order to win?

I've also a couple questions regarding cities: 1.) Do all cities exist at the beginning of the game, or do the various nations have to found new ones (outside of their starting city)? 2.) Do all cities start out owned by one nation or another, or do some start out as "neutral" cities that must be conquered first? Hey CBR; long time no see! It is indeed I -- Camel Lord, and honored servant of the great Mithrandir himself. It seems fate has brought us together once again. :cool: I'm guessing your presence is due (at least in part) to the HistWar: Les Grognards forum, yes? In any case, it's good to see you here, mate.

Thanks, Brit! Much appreciation for both the answer and those links. Ah, I see. So it's not so much that creating a mixture of continents and islands isn't feasible as it would be unbalancing, yes? That's a valid point.

Hey everyone. First-time poster here, although I've been following the game for a while now. I've been liking what I see so far! Anyway, since this thread was initially about the game maps, it seems like an appropriate place to ask this: I've noticed that while most -- if not all -- of the maps seen in screenshots seem to consist almost entirely of islands (or at most, very small continents), the Gamesquad preview mentions you can create randomly-generated maps with larger landmasses as well. My question is: Can you create maps with a mixture of both, or is that not really feasible?
