Default Re: First Newbie game, let's discuss how we proceed here

Im a beta tester. My name is in the credits at the end of the game. I dont think I should join. But thanks for asking.

As for mods, Im with you. Everyone who has played the game for a year or more has their own ideas on what they would like to change and its wonderful that the game allows you to change so much. I even have my own preferences (Single Age to put all 3 eras in one game, Compressed Nations to add a bunch more nations above the 63 in the game already, Watchers to allow a single non-player to watch all actions in the game, Worthy Heroes to add more heroes, Mytheology to add more gods, Magic Site to add more magic sites, chaos mod to scramble all of the above). But I would not recommend that new players start there. Its better to feel a need and then fill it. Otherwise you are just going by the opinions of others. IMHO
