btw @blackguard you cool with playing helheim? i'll take caelum and truman wants nief
Nooooooo As I said I didn't want to play Lanka (or Mictlan) if the other was not in the game.

It may be that Lanka is better than Niefel and that the teams are roughly balanced. But Blood Nations and double bless rushing are all skills that need to be learned. And I don't have those skills.

I have not played Niefel in mp and not seen much of them in mp. As for Lanka I have played them once and it was a disaster! I never had a chance to start a blood economy and my sacreds died in unimpressive droves. Never played EA Mictlan, but I did give LA Mictlan a go with again very poor results. So while I like Blood nations in theory it does not mean that I am any good with them And I rarely try double bless strategies or try to rush opponents within the first year. So I have no experience their either.

In a team with only Mictlan or Lanka that nation must be played well, especially at the beginning, and I am simply not experienced enough with the sort of strategies needed to take on that responsibility. If I did the Hot team would be at a serious disadvantage.

Therefore I am going to stand aside from this game. I am still available to do the map placings if you need me too.
