[Gandalf Parker]

Im all for it of course. The game supports many more types of games than we tend to see. Sometimes we get a wrong impression because the interesting variants show up only rarely amoung the general flood of competition games on small to mid sized maps.

I particularly loved the RolePlay games with the wiki element. I spent alot of time with a macro hotkey generating the same god over and over in order to get a specific set of titles I felt would fit the god I wanted to play. Reading the various stories from each nation was fantastic.

Something Id like to see more of is for the authors of nation-mods to create games of players vs AI where they play the mod to its strengths. I feel that would be a good game for newbies in particular to give them a feel for MP play, alliances, diplomacy, trading, etc without the concerns about being too naive. Setup a modded nation with multiple castles and pre-ownership of 1/4 of the map forcing a "unite or die" situation.

We have had some interesting threads which discussed game variants.
