to make it a bit more interesting I think about allowing custom start positions. Any opinions?

Actually the map is not very balanced and its not nice that trees grow that badly there

Well, to overcome some imbalance of the starting positions with respect to the placement of the surrounding immovables, I thought about custom start positions. If we restrict them to the quadrant of the own starting position, would this be fair enough?

I don't think so, because one player needs to chose the spot first, which could either be an advantage (if there is only 1 good spot) or a disadvantage (as the opponent can chose the distance). Furthermore "quadrant" is hard to define...

from logic point of view - both player have the same distance to each other and can choose their own strategies -> we wanted to have 1 or 2 open maps, other possibilities "The River" or a mirror and balanced map "Eisenhold"

Well each starting position is currently at the intersection of 2 lines drawn through the middle of the mountains. by quadrant i meant the quadratic sector buil by the 4 mountains (their center point to be exact). However I see your point of the selection order, which is a pity as I would have loved to see this feature in a tournament where it doesn't fit obviously.

So starting positions remain as they are, but are free selectable by the players. for the selection order the normal rules will applly

Our tournament is over and Seefahrer mentioned in our match that the new diplomacy feature (except for resigning) was not really tested. Apart from an accidental test in one of the first matches of course ;-).

So he came up with the idea of having some final event like a battle royale with full diplomacy options.

Therefore here is my question: Would anybody be interested in a big last match on a map big enougfh for all players. And what would be a good map for such an event.
