Mods: We will be using the Mega-mod V2 here: http://67.66.187.69/dominions3/mega-agev2.zip In addition to allowing all the nations of all eras to play it will also change the following:
• Arcane Nexus will not be available to cast.
• Clam of Pearls will require a path 2 (instead of 1) in Nature Magic (Water will stay the same). This will increase the cost to forge.
• Fever Fetishes will require a path 2 (instead of 1) in Fire Magic (Nature will stay the same). This will increase the cost to forge.
• Blood Stone will require a path 3 (instead of 2) in Earth Magic (Blood will stay the same). This will increase the cost to forge.

How the Nations were awarded:
1st Seed: After the deadline I will award nations based on the player's first choice. If multiple players desire the same nation I will randomly select the player that is assigned the nation.
2nd Seed: We repeat the last step with those players that still have not been awarded nations and still have preferences. Players who are awarded a second seed get a 10% population increase in their capital.
3rd Seed: Repeat the Second Seed except the award is 20% population increase in their capital.
4th, 5th, 6th, etc Seed: Continue until there are no more conflicts, awarding and additional 10% per each seed.
Last Seed: On the seed where there are no more conflicts the final preferred nations are awarded and all the remaining players (those that ran out of preferences or never provided any) are randomly assigned the remaining nations. Whatever Seed level this ends up being is the population bonus all the remaining players will get. The seed cap limit will be 5 (i.e. 150% pop bonus).

Delays/Stales: There will be NO (Zero, Zip, Zilch) delays in the game UNLESS there was a server/hosting error. In which case we might rehost or delay the turn depending on the amount of people affected. If we ever get down to 10 or less players (unlikely) I’ll consider allowing short delays.

Exception: Over the Thanksgiving & Christmas holidays the turns will be extended for approximately 1 week each.

Due to the number of players I will be rather ruthless in enforcing the stale rule. No one will stale more than twice in a row before they are replaced or put on AI unless they let me know beforehand. If you let me know you will be gone you will not be replaced but the game will not be held up for you. Replacements/Subs will be found as per all my other games (see below).

Other Rules: The same rules that apply to all my other games also apply here. Please read these rules if you haven’t already:

[BigDisAwesome]

Sounds awesome Velusion.

[Jazzepi]

I would really, really like this to be a wrap around map.

Jazzepi

[Zaramis]

you could do a manual wrap around. It would be ugly, but would work.. just link all the border provinces to the province on the other side? see them as teleporting provinces with strange gates that allow them to cross over the blackness of the edge.

Ugly maps need not apply.

[Zaramis]

The map wouldn't be ugly. Just the method of wraparound..

[Szumo]

I'm working on a map generator, one that takes any existing image file and tries to make Dom3 map out of it. Wraparound can be enabled separately for both x nad y axis.

Would you be interested in a map made from Blue Marble NASA pictures? I'll attach a half size image so you can see what i mean.

[Salamander8]

Perp has been such a blast I'd love to play in another of these games. Looking forward to see how it pans out once it is closer to finalization.

[Yucky]

I'm very excited about this upcoming sequel to Perpetuality, many thanks for hosting!

[Evilhomer]

Yes, let's get this one rolling
