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. :idea: anyone. thanks

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

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.

lol oh yeh

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?

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...
