Hmm, interesting nation.
Well I have a very ludacris experiment in mind.

EDIT:
So everybody's been assigned with a nation. I suggest you start testing out stuff and designing your pretender now.

Also, we haven't settled the number of capitals required for victory, I need your votes folks.

And again, Orania or Glory of the Gods?
Orania is perhaps a lil big for us 14 land nation is close to 19 provinces each, but it a very nice map, and it's wraparound.
I dislike Glory of The Gods since position easily determines the course of game with all those wastelands on that map, and there are some position from which you can not possibly win.
Vote.

For VPs- 50% sounds good to me.

For map- I'm not sure why, but I really dislike Orania. I think its something to do with the color scheme, not to mention the fact that wraparound maps make my brain hurt. Glory for me.

Re: New game - The Art of War, Closed
 

Isn't there a remade Glory of the Gods for multiplayer?

Orania looks really bad for MP, unbalanced starts, uber magic sites at VPs...

Re: New game - The Art of War, Closed
 

Think we should only go for 'Glory of the Gods' if there are three water nations, or two water nations with all the South East seas gettings tagged as no start. As a water nation getting the entire Western sea to themselves is a bit overpowering to say the least.

I am currently in a game with the Orania map, and think Zeldor is right in saying it certainly has some issues with balance, and is probably not such a good map for MP games.

Scary thing is that any of your neighbours may be played by Baalz.

Thanks for the admin work, WingedDog!

Re: New game - The Art of War, Closed
 

Yeah I don't think Orania is best....

Re: New game - The Art of War, Closed
 

Ah, the joys of not being ganged up on immediately. I think I'm gonna enjoy this....and probably get eliminated in the first year. ;)

Re: New game - The Art of War, Closed
 

Glory of the Gods looks very nice. I'm up for it.

Also any chance in a slight boost in gems? say to 45? A few more gems never hurt no one...much.

Re: New game - The Art of War, Closed
 

That makes two of us.:)

Ok, so we're changing to Glory of the Gods map, and I too am for magic site 45.
I'll PM WingedDog to start placing start positions on the map, the two little ponds on the east will be marked as non-start.
And I guess it seems we're on 8 for victory. And we won't be using hidden victory points.
