Damn, I seem to have chosen the weakest nation, I thought they'd be interesting to play with, I've never taken them before, but I tested them a little home, and MAN DO THEY SUCK,
I'll take back Ermor if it's not too late...
PLEASE!!!

Cicadian, sorry I didn't mention it.. but I wanna be pythium myself.. I wanted to be them in the megagame but i was to late.. so I decided to create this to play pythium.

You are welcome to play another nation though.

I'm thinking 24h first turns later 48.. the switch between 24-48 will depend on how we are doing.. I'd rather not see it happen to fast.

I won't do a 30 hour quickhost but I'm always willing to do some extensions if needed.

Aezeal: Is this game full? If it isn't, I can play. I don't which of the remaining nations I would like to have but I'll take a look at them.

Also, this game definitely needs VP victory condition because noone will have the endurance to fight till the very end in game of this size.

Re: Aquarium - MA game - PBEM - 10-15 player
 

I'd like to join this game if there's still a slot free. I'll take any nation that's left.

Re: Aquarium - MA game - PBEM - 10-15 player
 

I won't be joining after all - so I guess that frees up a spot.

Re: Aquarium - MA game - PBEM - 10-15 player
 

VP meaning provinces that provide points? I'm playing a game with one province that everybody fights over, and I'm pretty tired of it... but presumably there are various ways to do it, other than that.

I would totally play to the end in a straight battle without VP. I mean if I survived that long. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Yeah, im not so huge on the VP's, though I suppose we can use em if alot of other people like em.

Re: Aquarium - MA game - PBEM - 10-15 player
 

Yes, by VP I meant Victory Points of which you need to control a certain amount in order to win the game.
I have played in games which had multiple VPs on the map and I can say from my experience that VP games are more interesting than normal ones because there's a tangible objective for the game.

If Aezeal decides to go with VPs, I recommend the following setup regarding the amount of VPs:
1) 2x the number of players. Randomly assigned on the map and need to control ~40% of the VPs in order to win.

or

2) One VP in each capital and none in the regular provinces. 40% of the VPs required for the win.

Bananadine: I can certainly see several reasons for a player getting frustrated in game that has only one VP on the map but those reasons are indeed due to game settings rather than VPs in general as a victory condition.

Re: Aquarium - MA game - PBEM - 10-15 player
 

Id rather not play VPs, if its alright. We can, but it skews gameplay a bit.

Changed my mind again (cant resist): I'll play as Ulm
