I'm in, nations to follow

[klagrok]

Book me as well--oops ill pm you my choices

[calmon]

Nice map! I'm in.

Could we modify the victory condition and raise the 33% VP needed or at least make all of the VP provinces fortresses?

I played a game once with 40% VP (no capital) and the game has ended very soon because nations with teleport magic can jump into most of VP provinces and win (angels, bless commanders, etc).
And its a myth that most of people automacally build fortresses on the VP provinces (and not only newbs do this) and they are way to underprotected without!

Count me in, please. Nations list is in PM.

Hi Calmon:

As a general rule, I try to set things up so that games are likely to end between turn 65 - 90. If other players think the % should be a bit higher, then maybe I'll change it. My hope is by having 36 VP provinces (compared to only 18) that it will be a bit harder to do the old teleport trick.

I would like in, if there are any slots left. I am not a newbie - I just used to get games on a different forum.

I will send my list to PashaDawg.

I'd prefer keeping the original victory condition, with only the percentage changing if people want. "Keep and hold 3 turns" is a recipe for a too-long game. Now that we've all read this thread, we should all know to fortify the VPs and prevent sneak attack surprise wins.

You can count me in. I will PM my choices.

I have been wanting to do this for awhile
