What are the odds of 1 player controlling a whole area lets say africa in the europe map at the start of the game, and also having 5 territories next to each other, in a 5 player standard game. anyone. thanks

Not very good. I'll spend some time figuring it out later.

[HighBorn]

[nyg5680]

but knowing you u will like pull a win out of that game out of thin air

[lilwdlnddude]

yeah the same thing happened to me. a player in the middle earth map started off with all of the lindon area, therefor putting a huge advantage to him.

[stinkbom9]

lol oh yeh i started with lindon oh yeh im soooooo awesome lol lol now im owning u, only because of me winning every roll though and now i have the green place

[stinkbom9]

u got good spots in the game we played in like some china place whatever the heck it was and u ended up winning because of it

I've seen it happen b4 as well, and it has nearly happened to me.

in my case all it did was turn me into a target for everyone else and i ended up first one eliminated.

go figure

so while rare, and wicked cool (Not that wicked is cool in anyway) is a mixed blessing

1 in 34.5 sounds right, I once had most of Europe and I have a little over 30 games.

And Lindon is the small continent, right? I've seen one player start with 3 out of 4 countries there, too. And he deadbeated right from the start. Really, how stupid can you be?

[nyg5680]

in the classic map i started of with all of europe and i had everyhting aorund me

[gavin_sidhu]

The luckiest ive gotten was to hold the ankh-monkh in the discworld map. I dont think they should allow people to have all of one continent at the beggining of a game...
