    Dominions 3 newbie help!

    Hi, maybe this should be another forum. Please let me know if so.

    I'm going to be starting a game for myself and a few friends. There will be 4 of us total. None of us have ever played dom 3 before.

    I'm planning on using llamaserver to run the game. Can anyone recommend any settings/maps/tips for a first game of 4 newbies?

    Thanks!

    Are any/many of the players trying to use oceanic sides? Your map would need a proportionate amount of water.

    Some races prefer the long game, others blitz out of the gate. If your map isn't suited to the player count you'll come across issues. I suggest you simply choose a 4 player map with the right amount of water

    Most of the maps won't state they're for "x players". You probably want one with 60-80 provinces.

    OK thanks, that is helpful. I don't think anyone is planning to try oceanic on our first game, though I am not sure. I think I found a decent map with around 60 land + 12 sea with 4 fixed starts that looks perfect for our first game.
