MP2 will be the first IOT wholly hosted on the IOT forums. The goal is to maintain the epicness of the first MP, but streamline it so updates take only 24 hours or so rather than the 72 hour or so intervals we have now. As it stands, the load times make Sonic 06 look fast. Feel free to post suggestions about things that should be addressed here. MP1 essentially was MP2's beta. Muhahaha. My map is a WIP, but thus far this is what I have. For some ideas of what the rules include, there are twelve technologies planned and a host of opportunities for players to engage in a Cold War among themselves.

a host of opportunities for players to engage in a Cold War among themselves. Because that never gets old. : Suggestion for the map: make the regional boundaries thinner and/or change the colour, because it's even harder to look at than MTC.

It uses the same colors as the IOT V Map! :'C But what colors would you suggest?
If you have any particular RGB values you'd suggest, I'd be happy to give them a try!
As I'm painting the borders in Paint, I'm not sure how well I can change around the region boundaries. I'll see if using SAI lets me get better borders.

On distribution of territories - normally I roll with 1 million per province. Hence, California has around 40-ish, etc. Sometimes exceptions are made for strategic locations such as islands, and large economies. The plan is that unifying a region will boost industry a bit, thus, players will be naturally competing for clout. The best troll ever would be a single claim in another region. Tani, Y U NO host in CFC?! Monopolisation of resources! Once we have a game that's exclusive to this forum, it will also be easier to link other forumgoers here. Imagine it, a forum game played by CFCer, Apolytonian and Paradoxian alike! --- Considering the reservations as legit for the time being.

It uses the same colors as the IOT V Map! I never played IOT5, but that's beside the point. I checked now, and at 2px wide you probably can't make them smaller. I'd suggest either making the regional boundaries a lighter grey, or keeping the scheme from the MP map of white regions, grey provincial/black regional borders at 1px each. Thick lines are distracting. And DO shrink the water borders because at current size they're hideous.

We'll probably have about 3 or 4 NGOs, so sure thing, Ailedhoo. == I wanted the sea zones to be distinct, Thor. Though I'll shrink them anyway! I'll see about making the territories a light shade of gray. The map is it in its infancy that it's doable.
