Re: Mistletoe - an LA game for busy people (recruiting)

Well the new patch gives a little protection against R'lyeh, for Atlantis at least, and I guess he'll be the one you'll be fighting first probably.

Re: Mistletoe - an LA game for busy people (recruiting)

I'd like to play. I was thinking of starting a slow game myself when I saw yours.

I would like to play Ermor, but if anyone objects, I would take Marignon instead.

Do you know what victory conditions you are going to use?

Re: Mistletoe - an LA game for busy people (recruiting)

I would love to give Gath a run

All my games have included maybe ten or twelve people at least, so I assumed we would wait for a few more unless it took too long, but this isn't one of the things I explicitly intended to explore so I have no strong opinions on it. We seem to have enough to start right away if we had to, but maybe we should wait a little longer anyway. I won't stretch it out too much though. Does anyone have a preference?

So, I wrote that I want to be a Ryleh, but I will have no problems with choosing any other nation.

I haven't seen anybody complaining yet. :) You're free to change your mind! Anyway this is another matter with which I have little experience (although I do at least know the basic features of the nation) so I hate to do anything as heavy-handed as banning a whole nation unless players especially prefer it.

Re: Mistletoe - an LA game for busy people (recruiting)

Haha Ermor and R'lyeh both! Much learning will occur.

Re: Mistletoe - an LA game for busy people (recruiting)

I figured I'd do whatever the default victory condition is. Killing everybody else I guess.

Re: Mistletoe - an LA game for busy people (recruiting)

I'd sure be interested and a 6 day quick-host sounds like a very good thing for me if I'd survive to the end-game :) Most likely I'd commit some spectacular suicide (I tend to do that...) before that, but if against all odds I'd get there :)

However, LA R'lyeh and LA Ermor are in the game? No thanks, I'll pass :( Maybe next time if you set up a game in a different era or another LA game without R'lyeh or Ermor? :)

Re: Mistletoe - an LA game for busy people (recruiting)

Well, I say it this way: I have choosen RlYeh, becouse I dont want anybody else to be Rlyeh:) So if we ban it I will ceratinly switch to other. Your decision. I simply hate when somebody is Rylyeh and is making my pop insane... I will make my population insane by myself:)

Re: Mistletoe - an LA game for busy people (recruiting)

There is a lot to be said for banning R'lyeh in LA games. The whole game tends to become focussed on killing R'lyeh. Even then R'lyeh often wins.

Personally I think they are much less fun to play against than Ermor. Even having Ermor present, of course, dramatically changes the game.
