Amount of Islands in strategy game?!

[Darkreaver1980 1]

Hi there,

i realy like the game but there is one major gamebreaker for me.

If i start a strategy game, there are like 40+ islands on it. The only thing i can configure is how many of these island are already under my/enemy control.

I dont have weeks to play this game....with 50 islands, the game takes way to much time :(

Is there realy no option to set the amount of islands in your game?

You can choose how many islands are already captured by you. There are 4 options at startup, didn't you see them? I recommend you to read the PDF, it's very good.

Didnt you read my post?

Its about the AMOUNT of islands....i dont have time to play on a map with 40+ islands. How can i make a game with only 5-12 islands?

Sorry for my previous answer.

In the beta there was just 9 islands. I think everyone assumed that there would be an option to have a set amount of Islands in the full game, rather than have it locked at 33.

I agree it would be a good feature.

I seem to recall seeing videos where you could set the number of islands....

Somthing about one setup taking an afternoon, while another setup would take a week or two. Was it in the last interview vid BI did?

It was in the video presentation of CCGM

He says that at 10>28 or so. And its about the amound of Islands given to the AI.
