Noobaclysm! Cataclysm mod game for noobs. GAME STARTED!

[Jiggymike]

Looking for 8-10 nations, preferably no more than 10 but we can err on the smaller side. I'd prefer people who have played less than 10 MP games total, though we might consider expanding it if it's having trouble filling up. I also want it to be casually paced, as in no time limits on turns, though we can talk about that as well, since I'd like to keep the game from stagnating.

ERA: EA
MAP: Plane of Rusty Nails: http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/showt...ht=rusty+nails
Turns: No set limit, only quick host when all turns are submitted. However, as I'm sure we all enjoy playing our turns, please try not to languish too long between turns. I'll send out reminders if people are taking what seems to be excessively long. We could also do something like 72hrs.
MODS: CBM 1.92, latest version of Cataclysm mod (probably going to wait and see if any bugs come up in the new Aftermath II game so Elmokki can fix them).
Victory conditions: To the death, until we decided on a winner
Diplomacy: Machiavellian. Nothing is binding but don't expect to be trusted if you betray someone else...all you have is your word.

Settings:
Special site frequency:50
Renaming:On
Score graphs:On
Hall of fame entries:15
Everything else default.

And of course the usual restrictions concerning bogus orders, filling enemy labs, army blocking (moving a single commander or unit at an enemy with the intention of keeping him from moving into a province) and being a douche bag.

Could I take Lanka? Or I must choose the Cataclysm nation?

No, has to be a cataclysm nation. If you weren't aware, they are all identical human nations except for the flag colors; you are ultimately designed by the magical sites you find.

OK, then we'll implement a turn limit. I'd prefer to keep the map on the larger side because you'll need to find some sites to begin rounding out your nation and I want to give everyone a chance, plus it will increase variation. I was hoping for something a little more casual though, so how about starting at 48hrs and adjusting from there? I figure people will want to get their turns in but if we have 10 people, some of them might be more truant than others.

Also, still looking for map recommendations! If we get to 9-10, I think we should do Plane of Rusty Nails, but if we only get 6 or 7 that would be way too big. Think around 15 provinces per nation, preferably wrap around.

Hum, can I be red this time?

[Jiggymike]

Great, we are up to six! I'll give it another day or so to see if we get a few more players, then choose a map and get it started.

[Jiggymike]

Leaving this open for another 24 hours or so, if no one else wants in we'll pick a map and get started on Pretenders. Would like to start the game by Sunday or Monday at latest.
