Ok,

It accepted my Abysia Pretender.

I had made the map for 12 players, and I am rather busy today sanding and painting. If anyone has some spare time, if they see a viable 13th starting spot on the map let me know.

There is a spot on the far right side, in amongst the water races, but for any race other than Argatha that would be a death sentence from dominion I think.

Re: Update game status
 

Dedas sent me a PM confirming he is not playing, so go ahead and send in your pretender for Mictlan.

Re: Update game status
 

Let's make this the last restart, shall we?

If any of the current generation of heroes is unstoppable, we'll find out shortly.

Re: Update game status
 

Okay guys. All the pretenders are in. Do we think anyone else is likely to want to replace their pretenders now? Am I good to do the restart whenever I get a chance?

Re: Update game status
 

If you could wait an hour so I could quickly test my pretender that'd be cool but not necessary http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Sure, there's no rush at all as far as I'm concerned.

Re: Update game status
 

K, i'm good... MA Mict really isn't that great a nation.. even with an uber hero. I just see a big early increase then..nothing. Even blessed jags don't look that exciting against massed quality troops/summons. Magic is relatively limited, bootstrapping into blood is a pain. I think it'll be great fun for the first 30ish turns, then turn depressing real quick http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif I'm already imagining my futile mid-late game defense!

Just kidding, looking forward to it. I rarely (never) play a bless worthy nation so this should be educating.

Re: Update game status
 

I am actually considering a new race as well. Abysia is certainly powerful, but i am just not a blood kind of guy.

Re: Update game status
 

do not feel bad Jut, I think I am going to try Shin. So we may go out early together.

In my alpaca game a decent mp had shin and he did not last long against arcos-coincidentally the same player playing arcos in this game. /cringe

Re: All Pretenders are in
 

Is anyone not ready to start? There will be no more restarts.
If something is unbalanced, you will have to use your uber skills to overcome it-or not.

To be quite honest, I have never seen Shin.'s national summons and have no clue if they are good or not. I did observe that with my pretender and starting mages i do not have magic paths to summon some of them anyway. But if I am being denied my 2 favorite races(Man and Pangaea), I might as well play something new.

So into the breach we go.......

If you take misfortune 3 and have bogus siege your castle on turn 2, i am not going to have any sympathy. No more restarts!
