Can any of the more experienced players reccommend a good map for beginners? I know there’s Classic and World 2.0, and I know to avoid Doodle Earth. What are some maps we should try out to get some more experience, without being too scary? ---

I like Iberia and France. What you want for that kind of confidence builder is something with 5 to 6 continents and each continent containing 4 to 9 countries. When you go to either Game Finder or Start A Game, you can click on each map to see a larger picture ---

Hmm. Missed out on the new game ☹ Looks like we may have to make bigger games. ---

[QUOTE=GreedySmurf] Hmm. Missed out on the new game ☹ Looks like we may have to make bigger games. [/QUOTE] Well, you just wiped Anyrose and me out of the game 2324822, but Conquer Club is letting me join public games now. It didn’t before, and I thought I remembered it saying you had to win one before you could do that. I can, anyway. I’m in game 2440450, waiting for two or three more players. Non dopers present, so no strategizing here if anyone joins… hee hee. 😃 ---

and I wiped Anyrose outta that game, though it probably cost me any shot of winning myself. =( ---

I’ve been wiped out of most of my games, so here’s a new one 2450289 “sdmb” - 8 player, terminator, freestyle - Freestyle means you only have to wait about a day for each of your turns because we all go at once Terminator means you get the points as soon as you oust someone, so it’s possible for 7 players to earn points in an 8 player game and 8 players so more of us can play ---

I joined – I’d joined the Conquer Club a while ago, and never joined a game. Be warned: I’ve never played on-line before, so I might be out quick, or have incredible beginners luck. ---

unlimited is hella convenient, but i like being able to flank an enemy without worrying about that reinforcement on the other end of the map 😛 hmm, we can ditch this one and create again if you all prefer unlimited. i just wanted to try the new classic map.
