cainehill's around?

i'd love to join... but i've got 3 games going as is - even if one is a "temporary sub" lol

[DonCorazon]

Count me in on this too! Any good LE nations for noobs like myself?
Thanks!

[Lazy_Perfectionist]

I am interested...

I'll know if I'll be able to join by this weekend. Don't reserve a slot for me unless I post a list of five preferences, or private message.

If I decide I can't join, I'll offer myself as a sub for whomever might need such.

[Aethyr]

I'm interested, please reserve a spot for me.

I have not played a LE game yet, so I'll have to do some testing and get back to you w/nation preferences. Should I PM you or post my preferences here? Thanks

[Aezeal]

I would like in.
I need a few pointers though.. the balance mod I can understand... to balance things a bit mroe I guess.. shouldn't be a problem

What does the worthy heroes mod do and how will it affect my game, are there things I should do (get mroe luck ?)

please explain.

I'll post my race choice later (LA nub here) IF I'M getting late in responding PLEASE message me I don't want to miss another game.

Welcome DonCorazon, LP, Aethyr, and Aezeal.

DonCorazon: I wouldn't worry too much about what nation you choose. Just review the various choices and then choose the ones that make the "cool light" go on.

Lazy_Perfectionist: It would be *great* if you'd play! There is a chance that we won't be able to start this weekend because we're waiting on Quantum_Mechani to update the Conceptual Balance mod for 3.10. Also, we might not have 17 players quickly enough.

Aethyr: You got a slot! You're welcome to PM me your preferences or post them here. I will also send you my email address via PM.

Aezeal: The Worthy Heroes mod simply tweaks the national heroes a little so that the heroes are "mucho funner and specialer". It is not a huge change, and I would not alter your pretender design because of it. Glad you'll be joining us.

The worthy heroes mod and indeed the epic heroes mod (MA only) are great. They do exactly what they say, you get great, groovy heroes. Which generally are alot better than in the normal game.

Download the mods and improve your SP game fun considerably. Remember to see the heroes you have a better chance if you take Luck 3 as one of your scales. I think this gives you 5% chance per turn of one turning up. But I am not 100% certain on this.

[Amhazair]

I heard the chance of getting a hero was 3%/turn +/- your luck scale, so 6% for luck 3, 0% for misfortune 3. I didn't test it myself, so don't quote me on this.

Conceptual balance mod, alright. Sign me up.
