Has anyone played a "no research" game before? I searched the Multiplayer thread and couldn't find anything specific, besides the "twilight of magicka" game Cainehill mentioned. I suspect things would be in favor of Ulm and undead themes, but I could be wrong. Even a no-magic slog on a small map would be interesting once diplomacy got involved
I'm not sure Ermor and Mr. Armorall would be appreciated by mutiple starting neighbors.
