Madness - 24 players, MA+LA, CBM 1.4 (running)
 

As Kingmaker is finished, I want to join a new game. So I decided to start a new one instead :) Game will be for either 12 or 24 players, depending on the number of people interested. It will use the same map as Preponderance - WoG Remake.

Re: Madness - 12 or 24 players, MA/LA, CBM (recruiting!)
 

Is there any special reason you don't want people to pick a nation yet ;)?

Re: Madness - 12 or 24 players, MA/LA, CBM (recruiting!)
 

I don't know if it will be MA or MA + LA :). I may also allow some mods [like Xietor's MA Man one].

Re: Madness - 12 or 24 players, MA/LA, CBM (recruiting!)
 

I'd like to play.
I dont know if something can save me from destruction in Preponderance and I haven't seen much of the map.

Re: Madness - 12 or 24 players, MA/LA, CBM (recruiting!)
 

Please consider me in.

Re: Madness - 12 or 24 players, MA/LA, CBM (recruiting!)
 

Added.

Re: Madness - 12 or 24 players, MA/LA, CBM (recruiting!)
 

I want to play this game too :)

Re: Madness - 12 or 24 players, MA/LA, CBM (recruiting!)
 

Sign me up.
Though, I had really like LA Ulm if we get LA nations, otherwise I'll settle for Eriu.
But if you want to do something awesome like randomizing nations, I'm all in :smirk:

Re: Madness - 12 or 24 players, MA/LA, CBM (recruiting!)
 

Nah, it's not RAND :) Everyone should have a chance to play their favourite nation on a map with so many cool sites. I am tempted to play LA Agartha again if we get 24 players.

Re: Madness - 12 or 24 players, MA/LA, CBM (recruiting!)
 

Hereby stating my interest in participating in this game.
If it ends up as a 24 player game that would be all kinds of cool, but I'm happy with either setup :up:

Re: Madness - 12 or 24 players, MA/LA, CBM (recruiting!)
 

You evil evil man.

Put me in as tentative - I'll commit if it pushes towards 24 for sure, otherwise, I'll see if it has trouble filling up (would give me time to cut lose some other weight if so). ;)

Re: Madness - 12 or 24 players, MA/LA, CBM (recruiting!)
 

I'd join.

Re: Madness - 12 or 24 players, MA/LA, CBM (recruiting!)
 

I'd like to play.
If there are late age nations, is Ermor also going to be banned?

Re: Madness - 12 or 24 players, MA/LA, CBM (recruiting!)
 

I would like to join.

Re: Madness - 12 or 24 players, MA/LA, CBM (recruiting!)
 

Yep, Ermor would be banned too. It's a bit harder to gang on a nation on that map, so they could get a big advantage.

Re: Madness - 12 or 24 players, MA/LA, CBM (recruiting!)
 

Id like to join as well, if personal circumstances allow. By the time the game starts, may be ok.

Re: Madness - 12 or 24 players, MA/LA, CBM (recruiting!)
 

QM says that CBM 1.4 should be within few days, so we will start with that :)

Re: Madness - 12 or 24 players, MA/LA, CBM (recruiting!)
 

I'm in

Re: Madness - 12 or 24 players, MA/LA, CBM (recruiting!)
 

Ok, we filled 12 spots quite fast. Let's see if we have enough people for 24. On that map 24 is pretty much a deathmatch. 2 people per valley, which means you cannot evade war. And it will leave 12 players for midgame.

Re: Madness - 12 or 24 players, MA/LA, CBM (recruiting!)
 

Sounds good.
So is anyone else interested in joining?

Re: Madness - 12 or 24 players, MA/LA, CBM (recruiting!)
 

We got 12 players easily, let's give it some time and see if we can get 24. CBM 1.4 just got released, so take a look :)

Re: Madness - 12 or 24 players, MA/LA, CBM (recruiting!)
 

I want in! I should be able to juggle a few games at once.

Re: Madness - 12 or 24 players, MA/LA, CBM (recruiting!)
 

I'm keen

Re: Madness - 24 players, MA+LA, CBM 1.4 (recruiting! - 10 spots left)
 

Ok, let's make it oficially 24 player game, MA + LA.

Re: Madness - 24 players, MA+LA, CBM 1.4 (recruiting! - 10 spots left)
 

Great, may I grab LA Utgard then?

Re: Madness - 24 players, MA+LA, CBM 1.4 (recruiting! - 10 spots left)
 

I'm still pretty new but if it is okay with you all I would love to get in on this.

Re: Madness - 24 players, MA+LA, CBM 1.4 (recruiting! - 10 spots left)
 

If we're allowed to pick now, I'd have liked LA Atlantis, but with so few water provinces save in the caves, I think I'll go with MA Bandar Log instead.

Also, since the thread for CBM 1.4 says that the mod is somewhat bugged, will we use 1.3 until it's fixed, or do we keep with 1.4?

Re: Madness - 24 players, MA+LA, CBM 1.4 (recruiting! - 10 spots left)
 

I am sure QM will fix any bugs before we start the game.

Yeah, feel free to choose nations now. Maybe everything except LA Mictlan [too much sacreds? :P], MA Ashdod [even CBM 1.4 changes are not enough] and LA Ermor.

I will go with LA TC or MA Shinu.

Re: Madness - 24 players, MA+LA, CBM 1.4 (recruiting! - 10 spots left)
 

Pin me down as LA Ulm please

Re: Madness - 24 players, MA+LA, CBM 1.4 (recruiting! - 10 spots left)
 

Late Age Marignon for me, please.

Re: Madness - 24 players, MA+LA, CBM 1.4 (recruiting! - 10 spots left)
 

Damn so many choices! EA arcocephale since LA Ulm was taken.
and yes I realize, EA niefle, EA lanka, MA ermor, .. all those good nations still available...

Re: Madness - 24 players, MA+LA, CBM 1.4 (recruiting! - 10 spots left)
 

Muahahaha
Though, this game was stated as MA+LA only.
I'm sorry, that precludes both your first and second choice ;)

Re: Madness - 24 players, MA+LA, CBM 1.4 (recruiting! - 10 spots left)
 

LA Marignon must start on a coastal province. There's only one such spot on the map. (I play LA Marignon in Preponderance)
Not a big problem but everyone knows where you are.

Re: Madness - 24 players, MA+LA, CBM 1.4 (recruiting! - 10 spots left)
 

IT won't be a problem here if we use random [among 24] starting positions for everyone. LA Mari and La Atlantis have that problem only when there is #specstart used in the map file. It's really lame bug.

Re: Madness - 24 players, MA+LA, CBM 1.4 (recruiting! - 10 spots left)
 

Ok, I thought it required a coastal province in all cases.

If we're allowed to pick nations now, I'd like to get my [various parts of my anatomy] kicked as MA Arco.

Re: Madness - 24 players, MA+LA, CBM 1.4 (recruiting! - 10 spots left)
 

I'll take LA Agartha

Re: Madness - 24 players, MA+LA, CBM 1.4 (recruiting! - 10 spots left)
 

I should release my LA Agartha guide soon, good nation :)

Re: Madness - 24 players, MA+LA, CBM 1.4 (recruiting! - 10 spots left)
 

sign me up

LA Ulm or give me a random pick

Re: Madness - 24 players, MA+LA, CBM 1.4 (recruiting! - 10 spots left)
 

What's your random pick? ;)
My grubby paws demanded LA Ulm upthread

Re: Madness - 24 players, MA+LA, CBM 1.4 (recruiting! - 10 spots left)
 

The game won't start properly if you put LA Marignon on a non-coastal start. I'm at least 80% sure of that.

Re: Madness - 24 players, MA+LA, CBM 1.4 (recruiting! - 10 spots left)
 

I am 99,99% sure that LA Marignon can start on a non-coastal province if there are no viable coastal starting locations on the map. The problem occurs only when you put #specstart in the map file for any nation [it won't take random free prov like you'd expect]. I did some tests on that map before doing that brutal fix for Preponderance.

Re: Madness - 24 players, MA+LA, CBM 1.4 (recruiting! - 10 spots left)
 

Sure sign me up.

Re: Madness - 24 players, MA+LA, CBM 1.4 (recruiting! - 10 spots left)
 

I'd like to play.

Jazzepi

Re: Madness - 24 players, MA+LA, CBM 1.4 (recruiting! - 10 spots left)
 

Fortunately that still left MA Ermor (mwahahah).
Practising my evil laugh...

Re: Madness - 24 players, MA+LA, CBM 1.4 (recruiting! - 7 spots left)
 

I'd like LA Arcos.

Re: Madness - 24 players, MA+LA, CBM 1.4 (recruiting! - 7 spots left)
 

I thought we weren't meant to pick nations yet, but if we are then dibs on LA utgard

Re: Madness - 24 players, MA+LA, CBM 1.4 (recruiting! - 7 spots left)
 

R'lyeh has a pretty heavy domkill too. I wouldn't know the difference, but are they better for a fun game than LA Ermor?

Needs more crushing the weak, imho :smirk:. May the best evil overlord win!

When you last posted, we weren't.
The first post could probably be updated that we are picking nations though.

MaxEffect asked for Utgard back on page three when the go was given, just so you know.

Re: Madness - 24 players, MA+LA, CBM 1.4 (recruiting! - 7 spots left)
 

I'm really unconvinced we need banned spells? Also what does research: 60 mean??

Re: Madness - 24 players, MA+LA, CBM 1.4 (recruiting! - 7 spots left)
 

Fixed first post, sorry for confusion.

Magic sites at 60. And I think that banning those 4 spells is unfortunately necessary in any bigger game.

There are no water start locations and not many water provinces, so there is no need to ban water nations. They simply cannot be picked on that map :)

Re: Madness - 24 players, MA+LA, CBM 1.4 (recruiting! - 7 spots left)
 

ah, nuts, would have done that frist post :(

Oh well, any chance of updating first post with races selected?
