New big maps bad for young bulls in the MP community

In another thread Tonio claimed that if you want a lot of human to human wars then the new maps are bad for MP. His reasoning is that - there are many more colonisable provinces on the new maps compared to the vanilla map - this means that there is room for many more nations than usual to become heavy colonisers - and colonisers are basically less likely to indulge in human to human wars On the surface this seems to be a correct observation. If so we should perhaps work to get yet another new map with perhaps only 100 or so more provinces compared to the vanilla map? And perhaps the new EUIII map is a mistake from a MP point of view? It has around 1700 provinces IIRC (vanilla has around 960). There are plenty of EU MP players who appear to have a need to get rid of a surplus of testosterone... They are like young bulls :D and for them this change is not that wellcome. Even I, peaceful Daniel, mourns such a change to a more peaceful game since these wars are a very good money-wasting feature for my opponents. ;)

I actually didn't notice a lot of this in my current AoD game (YGtDftG). Then again, I'm not sure if colonizers play optimally when they fight these European wars (and besides we got a decently aggressive French player triggering them).
