Would be perfect if you could keep the dots all the same size.

Nice post, I hope they will reach the goal of 2000 players!

Not serious. If anything they'll have 1998 or 2001. That extra player isn't going to break the server. But 2000 is a nice round marketable number.

What a great idea. Silhouettes help me understand scale better, so for any who think the same way, here you go.

@EvilImp

Is this the image you wanted?
edit: looks like you got a link up in the end.

If you look closely the blue dots are bigger than the red and purple dots.

Yes, but it gives all three empires the Poplock Of The Beast. Even in our modern era, that might kind of be a marketing fuckup....

I've been figuring with the bases being twice as big as the old ones, and the distances between them twice as great, that they'll need to double continent pop just so population density can keep abreast of what we're used to... and even then it'l be diffused over a larger map.

To *improve* on PS1, I figure they'll hafta increase that in turn by a bareass minimum of 50%, or a good round 250 per. empire. If they can manage a bit over half the continental population they promised initially, or 400 per., I still think that has epic shitstorm potential.

Anything after that is mana from heaven.
