Diplomacy Royale Lives!

[Bosh]

Hi everyone! We currently have one person that wants to observe, one person that just wants to play the 9-person 1600 variant, and seven people who want to play and since I don't think we're going to get any more responces from my Cat 23 post I thought I'd send this out to all of you.

We have a two options:
1. play a seven player map (would like to give heptarchy iv a shot) without the person who just wanted to play on the 1600 map.
2. have the observer play or get one more person and play on the 1600 map.

So try to hunt down one more person among your dipping friends but send me full country preferences (not just top three) for the Heptarchy IV map in case that doesn't pan out, ok? (map here: http://web.libertysurf.se/baches/hepdev3.htm )

oh, and can everyone who's played royale before give me some feedback on the play balance of the families I've thought up.

the first number is leadership/guile, the second is constitution:
