I screwed up and selected Jotun at the same time as I chose Pythium - Please remove Jotun.

More seriously, if I changed it to Rich, I'd have to expect / encourage a lot of people to want to change their Pretenders.

A normal richness on the Cradle does mean a little bit resource poor setting, which presumably people took into account when creating their pretenders.

And in retrospect, as Arch sideways suggested, I should have made Caelum an AI controlled nation - too big an advantage on the map.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Maybe. But perhaps people who haven't played this map before aren't aware of the starvational nature of this map. After all, you remember how it was the times *WE* played this map...

But hey, it was only a suggestion. I WILL KILL YOU!

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Maybe you should have Banned Ermor, too. The fact that everyone will be sort of starving for resources won't affect Ermor, since they have zero population.

Alternatively, you can just accept that certain maps promote certain flavors. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif After all, wasn't the entire point of this to have a good, clean game, with no wonky house rules?

I have joined as Pangaea. I think that makes 9 people.

Looks like we've got a full house. Time to kick some serious butt.

If there are no objections, and djtool claims his T'ien C'hi on mosehansen, I'll kick anonymous players tomorrow morning, and start the game off around 11 or noon Eastern time.

Worst case, I'll kick anonymous in the morning, and start on Friday morning / noonish after he's had a chance to reload his pretender.

Is there a possibility that I can slip in as Atlantis since you are kicking off some anonymous players?
