Nox. MA+LA. Unexpectedly ended
 

Games start rarely now (probably because it is summer) so I've decided to create a new one. Perhaps not everyone is on holiday now:)

Summer means lots of time for me....

In as MA Agartha

Re: Nox. MA+LA. Open. Sign up!
 

I really hope you won't stale as you did in Heracles:)

Re: Nox. MA+LA. Open. Sign up!
 

Heracles was a bad time for me. I will be more committed to this game, I promise. If you need proof check out the other games where I am not staling. I deserve the reproach though. Perhaps you just fear the power of MA agartha :)

MA Pythium please

Re: Nox. MA+LA. Open. Sign up!
 

I am in. I would like to play as LA Pythium

LA Rlyeh please.

Re: Nox. MA+LA. Open. Sign up!
 

I'm in and would like to play LA Patala.

Re: Nox. MA+LA. Open. Sign up!
 

I'll give LA Tien Chi a wing.

MA Ulm please

Re: Nox. MA+LA. Open. Sign up!
 

Three other games have opened up.. do we want to start with 9?

Re: Nox. MA+LA. Open. Sign up!
 

No, I think we'll wait for at least 12.
I see only 2 other games - water based one and YARG by WraithLord. They both are rather specific.

p.s. It's a strange thing that people decided to create their games right after I created this one. No games appeared for a very long time.

Re: Nox. MA+LA. Open. Sign up!
 

Ano,

Could you post the direct link to Standards mod for Single age ?
Tnx

Re: Nox. MA+LA. Open. Sign up!
 

Actually I'm not an expert as I never played with it but mod from this post works fine in my tests with this Single age mod version.

By now we don't really need the banners mod as there seem to be no flag conflicts.

Ready to join as MA Ermor.

Welcome!

Re: Nox. MA+LA. Open. Sign up!
 

Nox is my first game on this forum, but it seems half of the players are from AG/Ucoz community.:)

Re: Nox. MA+LA. Open. Sign up!
 

Not a half. You'll be the fourth.

Re: Nox. MA+LA. Open. 1 water and 1 land nation needed
 

Seems that we need only 1 water and 1 land nation to start.

Re: Nox. MA+LA. Open. 1 water and 1 land nation needed
 

What the hell, sign me up for Midgard.
I'd take the water nation but ain't no way I'm going against R'lyeh.

Re: Nox. MA+LA. Open. 1 water nation needed
 

Do you really think that R'lyeh is that terrifying now?
I'd take the water nation if I didn't want to play Abysia:)

Re: Nox. MA+LA. Open. 1 water nation needed
 

Bwahahaha, fear me!

Re: Nox. MA+LA. Open. 1 water nation needed
 

I don't think they are THAT terrifying.
I just don't want to fight a war that's gonna cost me the game with all the income loss and mages gone crazy. Been there before.

Re: Nox. MA+LA. Open. 1 water nation needed
 

I will take the last water nation if it's still available. MA R'Lyeh please.

Re: Nox. MA+LA. Open. 1 water nation needed
 

Fine. So we'll have R'lyeh duel:)
Guys, do you think it's worth waiting or we should start right away?

Map is rather big and perhaps 12 players is not many. But I'm ok either way as I already have a balanced map version for 10+2.

Re: Nox. MA+LA. Full but there's still place to join
 

O ****! The map is Alexander?
I do hate this map, but I do want to try out Midgard.

Anyway, I'm good with whatever number of players, just get this thing started as soon as possible!

Re: Nox. MA+LA. Full but there's still place to join
 

Why do you hate it?
//just curious

Re: Nox. MA+LA. Full but there's still place to join
 

It's not very easy on the eyes, the mountain areas at least.
Made me do some dreadful mistakes way back in Beer game, another reason.

Re: Nox. MA+LA. Full but there's still place to join
 

I may have not tried many but in my opinion it is one of the best maps available now. I usually add some minor balance fixes and starting locations. All this will be listed when I post the ".map" file here.

Re: Nox. MA+LA. Full but there's still place to join
 

How about the legends maps..

Re: Nox. MA+LA. Full but there's still place to join
 

I like Alexander:)

Re: Nox. MA+LA. Full but there's still place to join
 

How many provinces per player on alexander?

Re: Nox. MA+LA. Full but there's still place to join
 

289 provinces for 12 people is probably too sparse.

Re: Nox. MA+LA. Full but there's still place to join
 

We should have about 15 players.

Re: Nox. MA+LA. Full but there's still place to join
 

As much as I would love an open map for my nation, I feel like almost 25 per player is too much. Unfortunately I can't suggest any other map options save maybe orania.

Re: Nox. MA+LA. Open. 12/15 players. Sign up!
 

I think we'll just wait for 3 more people and that's it. Hopefully it won't be too long.
The problem is that I don't want to play without predefined starts because it is always unbalanced and too random and I don't know any other map as well as Alexander to make starting locs balanced. That's why I tend to choose this map

Re: Nox. MA+LA. Open. 12/15 players. Sign up!
 

I'll go with whatever ano, but I think we've picked up 1? 2 in 5 days?

I'll see if I can get a couple of others to play.

Re: Nox. MA+LA. Open. 12/15 players. Sign up!
 

We picked up 3 people in 2 days and we are short of 3 more. If you found someone, I'd appreciate this.

Re: Nox. MA+LA. Open. 12/15 players. Sign up!
 

I wouldn't mind seeing a few more good players here to spice it up a bit.

Re: Nox. MA+LA. Open. 12/15 players. Sign up!
 

Well, at least four people here are really good, believe me. But the more the better, of course :).

Re: Nox. MA+LA. Open. 12/15 players. Sign up!
 

My dream here is to see an all veteran game some day, but that's probably never gonna happen.

Would you mind telling me which 4 players? :) I'd like to know who I should be extra careful from the start, except Chris, you manipulative devil! :)

Re: Nox. MA+LA. Open. 12/15 players. Sign up!
 

No, I won't tell. Also, it is only about those whom I know and they're not too many. You are included, btw:):)

Re: Nox. MA+LA. Open. 12/15 players. Sign up!
 

WOOO HOOO!!!

Re: Nox. MA+LA. Open. 12/15 players. Sign up!
 

Why woo hooo?? :)
After Beer and Timewarp I'd say you're one of the strongest players at this forum. Just a fact, nothing personal:)

Re: Nox. MA+LA. Open. 12/15 players. Sign up!
 

Yep Exec is *way* strong. Wonders who the 4 are = ). Hop, Squirrel, Ossa, Exec are all really good. Of course ano too...

I know squirrel doesn't have a track record, but he has solid game knowledge.

Personally, I'd rank it

Exec,
Ossa
Hop
Squirrel...

I'm in, MA Abysia

Re: Nox. MA+LA. Open. 12/15 players. Sign up!
 

I'm honestly flattered. You haven't seen me completely fail mid/late game yet. Actually, I haven't either. But I really have no experience with what other live bodies are going to do once the crazy starts.

Re: Nox. MA+LA. Open. 12/15 players. Sign up!
 

Hop being short for Chrispedersen in this case ;) I am fairly sure the four would be (in no particular order):

Ano,
Ossa,
Chrispedersen,
Executor

Squirrel having written a guide (on the power he's playing!) and doing well in the one mp game I know he's in. He's doubtless going to become / already is a very good player but hasn't been proved to be so in mp yet :)
