Re: Overlords - Game Thread. Sign up phase

i'm probably half the player ling is ;)

i just noticed you had another guy who was a normal down as already having wanted abysia...

also... abysia and vanheim both can blood sacrifice? right? making them intelligible for selection by overlords?

Would love to play - but I'm in 2 games now, and this is all I can really handle.

I love the fact that you are trying non standard nations - ie multiple province.

this was something I tried to get people interested in - using pts to let them build/start with bigger empires.. but I couldn't get any interest.

So I will follow your thread with interest and hope all goes well!

Thanks :). A game like this is something probably out of a lot of people's comfort zones. I am just hoping there are enough people who might be interested enough to play, then I can worry about whether it blows up in my face or not.... Let me know if you decide to change your mind about not playing. I'm sure we could find a spot for you.

Namad - You're right, I shouldn't have marked down abysia already. Well, I still want overlords picking first. I guess I will have to remove the mark for abysia and deal with this later.

Abysia and vanheim are blood sacrifice nations so yeah, they will not be available as overlord choices.

I don't want this concept to die the death, so you can confirm me. I'm not sure I'm much of a vet, but I'll be an overlord if you like. I've no idea what nation to take, though.

Re: Overlords - Game Thread. Sign up phase

I'll take you as an overlord. Don't worry about deciding your nation too quickly. I plan on holding sign ups open until this saturday. That should be plenty of time to decide on a nation.

Re: Overlords - Game Thread. Sign up phase

Interesting concept. I'd like to be in as a normal nation. As pangaea, if overlords do not take them first of course.

Re: Overlords - Game Thread. Sign up phase

Welcome to the game :).

Re: Overlords - Game Thread. Sign up phase

namad is right up their with baalz in talent...

surprisingly, I'd really like to get in as .. arcosephale.. no chance to win but I enjoy the race...

Re: Overlords - Game Thread. Sign up phase

how about we just see how many players we get then have rdonj set the teams?

the best players can just be the overlords... and we can use however many total nations we can get signups for? that way we make sure to get the ideal balance for the game? or is it too late to change the game settings now that we've started asking for players?

Re: Overlords - Game Thread. Sign up phase

If the teams are looking too unbalanced when signups are over, I will ask if anyone is willing to switch for the sake of balance. I have enough faith in the community that I believe this will be enough. The way this is going we may be a little overlord heavy. Or we may not. Ideally I'd like to have three or so times as many normal nations as overlords. If everyone who is signed up plays, we are reasonably close to that ratio even right now.

So CP, should I pencil you in?

Re: Overlords - Game Thread. Sign up phase

Well, I'm happy to play as either side if it gets things off the ground.
