Game wise, I think I had a pretty rough start, so I am anxious to see in 10 turns or so if I even stand a chance. My capitol is surrounded by 2 or 3 swamps, I missed getting mercenaries for a the first turns to take a first province, and the game staled (ignored my orders) on a fairly crucial early turn due to an incorrect serial key at the time...
And on top of that I am not familiar with my nation nor very much impressed by it so far, but will soldier on. At least I have some good mages :-)

Sorry to hear about the tough start - good luck toughing it out. To look for a silver lining, it may not be a disadvantage to have missed the mercs. I think there is a price level where players can be overpaying, and if your opponents have done this, you may have the advantage for not having got the mercs. I often bid on mercs, but I always prepare for the case where I don't get them, and I try to not get carried away on how much I bid.

In terms of diplomacy I look forward to some exchanges that are a bit more sophisticated than what the in-game messaging allows. What is normal in Dom3 MP games? Is it ok to publish a list here of all the nations and their email addresses, for some behind the scenes politicking ?

I'll broadcast a message in game, including my email address. I certainly enjoy the diplomatic aspects of this game, and I also dislike the interface for in-game messaging. So, email is good for me, but I never post my email address on a public forum. As johnarryn points out, PMs also work, and whenever I don't have a players email, I start out w/ PM and usually move to email thereafter.
