Ah okay. I've actually never done a VP game before, so I wasn't exactly sure what was the standard. 6 capitals for 3 turns sounds fine to me, if that's what everyone wants.

Re: Betelgeuse - Blood Nations CBM Single Age - Recruiting
 

There's at least 21 by my count. As I just learned, 6 VPs for 21 nations is not nearly enough. Just make it a flat %, and round up is usually the best policy. It's really annoying to have a game end, when you never even had a chance to interact with the victor. :p

Why income 125 %? Wouldn't that discourage bloodhunting?

Re: Betelgeuse - Blood Nations CBM Single Age - Recruiting
 

OK. I will take Bogarus, though I have not found a way to win with them!

JimMorrison. Succomb to the temptation and enter!

Re: Betelgeuse - Blood Nations CBM Single Age - Recruiting
 

My reasoning for that is that if you're blood hunting in a few choice provinces, you won't be missing out on as much gold as you would be under 100%. With a bigger income, Blood hunting will have more of an opportunity cost, and yes, you will still have to choose what is more important to you: Gold or Slaves. However, if you are Blood Hunting, the additional income from the provinces you aren't hunting in should make up for the cost more than if you were hunting under 100%


@ JimMorrison

I must have miscounted somewhere then. I was thinking of 1/3 of the capitals and got 6 for 18 nations. If it's really 21 nations, then that would be 7 VP. Perhaps that's a bit low as well? How's 8 or 9 sound for 21 players?

Well, a couple of games ended rather abruptly. So since I am in love with Sauromatia, I would like to share my love with all of you. <3

We need more people though! I thought Blood was more popular. :o

Re: Betelgeuse - Blood Nations CBM Single Age - Recruiting
 

Yeah, I'd had thought we'd get a LA Ulm by now at least.

Re: Betelgeuse - Blood Nations CBM Single Age - Recruiting
 

I was REALLY tempted to pick them, as they're extremely fun to play. But in my tests, I haven't gotten my early-to-mid-game transition worked out yet, and they can't shine without a clear plan of how to succeed. So far it mostly looks like:

1. Mass Amazing Infantry
2. ???
3. Profit!

:p

I've got some ideas of ways to change my setup with them, but I'm not here to experiment, I'm here to chew bubblegum. :D

Re: Betelgeuse - Blood Nations CBM Single Age - Recruiting
 

Actually I thought LA Ulm was taken which is why I didn't pick it(that is actually in crimson skies that they are taken). I want to try them out. So would be happy to play them and open up EA Mictlan to someone else.

Re: Betelgeuse - Blood Nations CBM Single Age - Recruiting
 

Will do Inca. If anyone else wants to change, please let me know while we still have slots open.

Also, we should probably discuss the Map we want. I've been trying to work the Llamaserver map browser and it's not working. When I select a different map, the preview and description won't change.
