I generally agree with you, it would mean though not fully honoring my promise and if EA Oceania has few amphibious troops, perhaps it won't be that bad. Name some amphibious nations for us, while your at it, me being a noob I don't know nuthin....

If QM doesn't take a water nation, he'll endup in a centralized supporting role on land amongst the other vets, as space is at a premium in the both areas.

I choose Niefelheim. My pretender, whatever it is, will still be named Mysteria (or Mysterio). It will be the ancient ancestor of the nefarious Mysteria from the first game.
Ancient ancestor? Come on... The whole game revolves around that whore. Oh well, how shall I reword the intro on the main post to reflect the escape of Mysteria and her ancient ancestor?

Mysteria having narrowly escaped ... summons her ancient ancestor for revenge? Sound good? I'll leave it to you.
I forgot we were going back in time, still I'll leave it to you to come up with a short quick shallow backstory. Heh.

Fomoria and Agartha both have amphibious giants, and there are many death-heavy nations that don't have much trouble getting underwater with easy research. Having the single water nation is a bonus, but it won't be quiet in the lake. Oh, and I think Oceania was called on assumption that you wouldn't restrict water nations to one.

And I wouldn't yet fret too much about us calling strong nations, EA has plenty of those and it's still 2-to-1 uphill fight...

Yes, we are going back in time. Mysterio will be the ancient pretender god that created Mysteria. When he left this world, Mysteria eventually chose to try and take his position as the pancreator.

(heh, yeah it's kind of weak. But don't blame me. I would have played her again. The other vets vetoed me).

I believe the orignal Medusa was created by Zeus? Correct? So this would seem thematical.

I apologize for the delay - the debate is over and the Vet team has finally settled on nation picks. They are as follows...

Atul: Atlantis
Quantum Mechani: Hinnom
TheDemon: Caelum
Lingchih: Neifelheim
Ironhawk: Helheim

With one caveat - our choice of Atlantis is based on us being the only water nation. If this changes and the noobs get a water nation too we reserve the right to switch out our water nation for a different choice.

Great, now we can pick our nations. I think Agartha could be fun. At least I'll definitely have better mages than LA Ulm from last game...

Honestly, being on Standby/alternate is better for me unless I finish some of my games.
