Westeros and Tamriel are just nightmares imho. Scroll city on Westeros, and tamriel is just like a huge blob of territories. How do you defend anything there?

Anything in the 40 territory range will be hard to play with 8 players. That means no World classic, modified, solar system, balkan, Europe, etc.

I like Med States for this setup. Not a fan of world expanded for this tourny but would understand if it was picked, again too many borders for my taste. South Africa, Oz, South America have a HUGE advantage with natural borders. Everyone else can be broken from almost anywhere.

New York would be ok, but gameplay is very similar to San Fran. Would be a little redundant. I love Victron personally, but a lot of people hate it. I think Jungle of Dispair and Realm of honored players would barely fit 8 players, but there's a lot of varying opinions on those as well. Just pick something Life in pixels! Give me 10 minutes I'll make a solar system double! Just kidding that would take more scrolling than Westeros.

seems cbt dislikes some the maps for the same reason i think they are good for a tourney situation, (imho,natch), that its more challenging due to less natural borders is why i would vote -for- it rather than against it. 

Westeros is good, but for a couple of reasons people tend to dislike it,, the bright colors,, the scrolling ( one can shrink it) ,, more challenging to defend states,, yet in this situation we have the help of our partners so it seems perfect to tackle for a tourney (or capitals)(or a capitals tourney game someday)
i dont know what people have against Tamriel. i love it.

Anyways, i agree about NY map being a bad choice, and Victron being a good choice.

i dont know what Oz map is,,, and something says to me Europe just might be interesting, but a tad annoying. (like in real life, har har)

@Matty if it helps, the refresh thing in the Team Chat is more apparent and virtually non usable when using Chrome, but the latest IE handles it okay on Windows 8, but not at all on earlier versions, so it may be user based? However if so, it still means that the code you use to make it happen is reacting in some way to various browsers handling.

Finally our game is finished. I did my best to stop Villain from winning, but the sheer power was too much, congratulations!

When does round two start?
