I'd be down with a high throne count. I do agree that the level twos are generally the strongest with the various recruitable mages really being a prize to fight for.

I'm open to whatever. But I'd need a concrete proposition for people to agree on.
Is anyone especially sanguine about their idea on the spread of thrones? Do you want a poll? Without any concrete push in some specific direction I'm just going to go with my proposition as the default.

I gather no objections to the map being FA?

@Shootandrun - if you'd rather start near the cave system, go ahead and modify the map accordingly. If you don't sufficiently care either way, we'll go with the Steam-provided vanilla.

I was going to suggest 10/10/0 or 9/9/0 (avoiding lvl 3 thrones is less dynamic, but it reduces the odds of individual nations being saddled with random "barrier provinces" that can't even be cleared in the medium term), but I'm okay with IP's suggestion too. Lvl 3 thrones do add a certain spice to things.

I've gone and done it! This sets the Agartha start location at 74, the same as it was in the older versions of FA I recall. I've tested it with Agartha and one other nation and it seems to work alright. https://www.mediafire.com/file/bi3ssnecjtzchep/Floating+Archipelago+AE.rar/file

The three files need to be placed in C:\Users\(your name)\AppData\Roaming\Dominions5\maps, most likely - you can find the user directory through the game itself, though.

If anyone has objections, please let me know, I would be open to a random start too.

Additionally - I will formally say I support IP's suggestion on throne counts, it feels like an adequate balance for me. Level threes can be bothersome, EA, but having just three should make the odds of such barrier provinces low enough.

Oh, lord. Why is this 170 MB? I haven't noticed the size before.
Other than that, seems to work.

It's the high-res version of the map. There's a much smaller one floating around too, if needed.

I tried to play chess but two of my opponents were playing competitive checkers as a third person walked in with Game of Thrones in hand confused cause they thought this was the book club.

Can't find where the savegames folder is that pretenders are saved to. Steam version

EDIT:
[drive]:\Users\[computer name]\AppData\Roaming\Dominions5\savedgames\newlords

Link in game takes you there, steam properties goes where it is not

As I seem to be the only one missing, I will have a pretender design up within 12h.

As long as you didn't make them cause fear and turn into soulless giants before truly dying, I'm okay with that.

The only correct bless on Niefels is heat aura+fire weapons. It's to confuse your enemies.
