Very Relaxed, perhaps unorthodox PBEM game starting here

[Stab West]

I would like to play, but I've only played the single player game so far, so I don't really know how multiplayer works with this game.

[EternalSpearman]

I'd would like to join. I've played single player, and a bit of multiplayer.

Anyway, I think Reemergence of Urgaia is a good choice for a 3-6 player game. If there are no objections, I'd like to play Arcoscephale.

I'm not all that experienced, so a relaxed pace game sounds good.

By the way, my email address is eternalspearman@excite.com.

I'd be interested in a nice calm game, I'd like to try out an aquatic nation if no one minds, otherwise I'd like to give Jotun a run.

As to map and settings, whatever the consensus is I'll be happy with. Victory conditions as well, though I'm a bit leary of finding conditions that are too easy to meet, it distracts from the kind of game I think you are shooting for.

I'm interested, but it looks like you already have 6 people (or seven?). I've never played multiplayer but this type of pace seems very nice for a first multiplayer experience.

If you guys want to limit it to six, I'm sure there will be other oppertunities for me. (Based on the response to this thread it seems like this type of game is appealing to a fair number of people).

Hello, and thank you for the replies.

OK so far it appears as if there are 9 people interested, which is also very nice. I don't want to exclude anyone, so I am not feeling like saying it must be a small 3-6 group if more are interested.
I think this will be too large for R-o-Urgaia.
I would sort of like to try this out on a map that I have played or seen at least once, Phil, at least to make sure there are no errors in the map. I found a few in "Cradle", the other map JL created; nothing really serious, but it did take some time. I corrected them, by the way, and we could try that; it would also be very suitable for a water nation. I could try to check it out in the next few days.
Sacred Salamanders just makes them more expensive but sacred; I can send that out to all the players should we want it. If anyone else would rather play Abysia, however, that's also fine (with or without mod).
I have actually never tried a game with victory by Dominion, so if others say this is too easy to attain, I will make it either Victory by 70%ish of provinces or by VPs. Please let me know your thoughts on this.

So it seems we have so far:

- me: Abysia (or something else if necessary)
- mlepenski: ???
- licker: Ryleh/Atlantis/Jotun
- EternalSpear: Arco
- StabWest: ???
- PhilD: Man
- Guybrush: ???
- MiguelD: ???
- Duncanish: ???

I will leave this thread up a day or so to see if anyone wants to join or drop out.
Note that an explicitly slow game which is also a bit larger will be very slow, since we go at the pace of the slowest; I'd sort of like to set the limit to 10 if we could. (I had never figured so many would respond.)
So depending on who and when replies, we could try to figure a start either Wednesday GMT or a day or two later.

Heck, I wouldn't mind being in this.
C'tis free ?

Hmm... the only nation I really have had any kind of success with so far has been abysia. But I think that you (tinktank) should have first pick since you are hosting.

I guess I will have to test some other nation over the weekend then :-)
