Is there an upper limit to a cluster?

Jul 05, 2007 18:12:51 Well, no cluster that I can recall has ever had more than three domains, and out of those one tends to be something relatively limited in scope. As for when a cluster would start looking like a "second Core", I'd say at the rate of five or more "country-like" domains with at least one or more minor domains stuck in among them (or just six or more larger domains together). Although at the point where a cluster began resembling the Core, odds appear good it would have been linked to the same through some "natural" means before long, if only to keep things relatively simple.

Second there is one pocket domain that has another inside it. drum roll please, the Nightmare Lands has the pocket domain of Davion located within the ring of dreams

To quote/reiterate Green Giant's statement in another thread: "Wow, I thought this thread was lost to the mists."

I already knew that the Core was a "super"-cluster, and as far as pocket domains inside other domains (they usually are)--they usually don't count towards the "cluster" effect (this seems to be the general rule, Shadowborn Manor notwithstanding) otherwise there would technically no Islands of Terror.

and with "RAVENLOFT" there is no saying you could not make a cluster with 5 or more domains in it
