Heh, I have yet to win a single MP game, and this will be my first MP game with LA Mictlan so I wouldn't hold my breath on my domination. Hopefully my theory that they play the same as EA plus amphibious units will hold true.

So why don't y'all go pick on Helheim? Aren't they the usual target for a dogpile?

Leave me alone!

LA and EA Mictlan are quite similar. Blood is power, so fear any blood nation, that's my advice.

Can you give us the server details for where we upload our pretender?

I sent out an email with the info. I also posted the info here in a post ... flip back through my posts from last night.

Velusion,I am Having trouble with your server (uploading pretender), help?

What error are you getting?

Edit: nevermind - I got your email.

Re: Perpetuality - The 60 Player MegaGame (Signup)

Blood is extremely powerful and that power scales with the size of the empire by a large ammount. Should any of the blood nations(probably EA or LA Mictlan) get a very large empire they will have a force to match. I personally am VERY happy there is no lanka due to their extremely powerful non-unique summonable SCs.

Yes, Lanks is in play, and IT'S RIGHT NEXT TO YOU!
Ah ha ha ha ha!
Kidding (actually I haven't looked.)

My list of nations/players to watch:
MA Man -- ME!

Grab your ankles. All your bases are belong to us! Resistance is useless! EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE!

I had to nudge a couple of start locations over a few times, but I finally managed to fit 62 start locations with at least three provinces between each pair. The table of pairwise distances between starts is attached.

I sent in my pretender BEFORE I did this - should I post the final start assignments before other people are done uploading pretenders? I suppose there is a possibility people will change their pretender designs on the basis of who their neighbors are.

I am an Idiot. Thanks for your help Velusion. this is my first server game.

Pretender uploaded.

Re: Perpetuality - The 60 Player MegaGame (Signup)

Yeah, it'd be better to wait until everyone is done uploading.

I wouldn't post them at all. If people want to raid the .map file to figure out who their neighbors are they can - I probably won't.

edit: Do players even download the .map file anymore? If not even better - you can keep the starting locations a secret to your grave (or game end - whichever is sooner).
