MP Mists of Time: Early Era Game [full] - Page 2

Well, I haven't played an "at large" MP game yet (just some games with a small group of friends), but I'd like to give it a go, if you don't mind.

If that's OK, I'd like to try:

Pangaea, T'ien Ch'i, or Marverni.

Thanks

Oh, by the way, what's "Streamers & Standards"?

Sounds like you fit the bill perfectly.

Streamers & Standards is a mod that replaces the stock banners with more distinctive and larger icons. It's just cosmetic. I think it was originally made to differentiate the different eras of each nation for the mega games, but ever since I played one using the mod, I've never liked to go back to the stock icons.

Abysia, Marverni, Fomoria please.

I'm not technically new, but I haven't played much MP. None in the last year or so.
So if you'll have me anyway, I'd like to try:
Mictlan, T'ien Ch'i or Ermor.

The only quibble I have with the victory conditions is that non capital VP provinces are risky. Everyone castle them or expect the game to end suddenly with a mass teleport attack.

Speaking about a map, my only real wish is that it isn't a totally random starting point one, that way no one risks getting their capital in the middle of a bunch of no income waste provinces or something similar. Aside from that anything works for me.

If we're doing a VP game then having quite controlled starting locations seems even more important.

I'd like to try a weaker nation...I have played a few MP games but have finished 3rd as my highest.

I will take Arco which should put any thoughts of me being too good to rest..LOL!!!!

If you have a lot of nations look at the Darkhavens map...has set starting positions and is REAL easy on the eyes.

I am with the Jeff on Victory conditions but its your game...you might want to make sure you don't unbalance it, by trying too balance it.

If it would favor Certain magic intensive nations it will be a quick game.

I have seen quite a few games end miserably with non-capital victory conditions, so I third thejeff's comment. Not that I'm actually playing, so feel free to ignore me! Capital VPs seem to work quite well.

Sounds fun. I'm pretty new here. I'd like Vanheim, Sauromantia, or Helheim.

Yeah, I can see the way VPs can go wrong. Hmm ... well, it is just an idea, as I said in my intro. Last-nation-standing is usually going on too long for me.

How about we vote on the victory conditions after we have the sign-ups done. Either use capitol only VPs or play standard game (last nation left).
