Heh... in MP it's ALL new territory to me, so please count me in as Yomi.

Re: Summer Madness, a game of strategic exploration.
 

I really shouldn't join any more games, but I'm really tempted to try something incredibly stupid with EA Atlantis. *Incredibly stupid*.

I should warn people that if I do join, I'll be gone for a good chunk of time in August. (like 10 days and later ~4 days). If that's not too much of a pain let me know and I'm in.

Which map is this going to be on anyway. I've just been noticing that my underwater fortresses don't receive any production bonus from adjacent non-underwater territories. That's rather annoying.

Re: Summer Madness, a game of strategic exploration.
 

If nobody minds another newb in the game, I'd like to take T'ien Ch'i.

Re: Summer Madness, a game of strategic exploration.
 

First I was insanely busy for two weeks and now I have huge amounts of time, so might as well join a game especially as EA has the most interesting nations. I'll take Fomoria.

Re: Summer Madness, a game of strategic exploration.
 

Ditto; If you don't mind another newbie in the game, I'd love to try something utterly silly with EA Pangaea.

Re: Summer Madness, a game of strategic exploration.
 

While I woud LOVE to see what silliness you do with Atlantis, I think that planning for 14 days out of the month is a bit too much AFK. So for now, I prefer not to add you to the game.
Sorry.

Re: Summer Madness, a game of strategic exploration.
 

Let's get started this week with the players we have signed up (+ or - one more).
This gives us 6-8 players.

I have been examining Maps.
I am considering the following three smaller maps:

Name (Land Provinces/Sea Provinces)
Ossya (49/12)
Silent Seas-wraparound (45/8)
Urgaia (51/8)

Does anyone have strong feelings for/against any of these?

Re: Summer Madness, a game of strategic exploration.
 

Since Squirrelloid's out, I'd like to take a turn at EA Atlantis. I will be gone later this month around July 25th, but otherwise I don't have any commitments that will prevent me from getting turns in that I'm aware of.

As for maps, my personal preference is for maps bigger than that. Especially, those are a bit short on water for 2 water nations.
