eHad - swap made!
Starshine_Monarch - Marveni reassigned!
Zapmeister - Hinnom dropped! Would you like to choose another? Perhaps a nice, pre-zombified Ermor?
GrudgeBringer - I'd love it if a newer player picked Hinnom, as they are quite tough. But I don't believe in restricting nations; if a powerhouse player wants to choose Hinnom, he's welcome to...under advisement that I will certainly be at war with him from Turn 1! These things have a way of balancing themselves out in that regard. RE Research: Setting the research to Difficult is alread going to limit the number of players that join, simply because folks like magic. I personally prefer Very Difficult research, but this was a concession to inclusiveness. But I think it's gonna be fun too.
