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 be fine with 33% when we use a rule like "you have to keep the provinces for 3 linked full turns" before it counts as a vicotry.

Well but this condition would need a manual process

I definitely agree with Calmon. Such rule would be good and it can be easily traced using score graphs. Game victory condition may be whatever and the winner will be declared by the host who traces the graph.

My choices are as follows:
1. Bogarus
2. C'tis
3. Ulm
4. Jomon
5. Pan

I would join here if I wasn't starting newbie game on that map. Damn, I wish I had time to play that game too.
