3-Day Quickhost Game Cradle of Metal - Running

[Stormbinder]

Tempting but I'll pass. 3 days turns in the first 20-30 turns will drive me crazy. Although by turn 50-60 I would probably be glad to such relaxed hosting time...

I prefer a fast game in the first 10-20 turns too and hope the quickhost will run every day.

i am so tempted. I like the players involved so far, and that is most important. Also I have this strange hankering to play around w/ the definitely not quite a powerhouse Broken Empire.
but i am scared of the endgame, I admit. the map isn't that much smaller than Orania, and the terrain far more rugged.

hm i am tempted too .
but research very difficult frightens me off since i thought of giving SG ermor a try .
because i am in too many games already the 3 days quickhost would be ideal though .

so is research very difficult fixed or is there a chance to turn it into normal research ?
with normal research and archeo not taking BE ermor i would be in as SG ermor

since i have thaumatic experience with a lab/temple/popblow event on turn 2-3 i can't think of playing anything else than ermor atm lol


no matter what scales i take i seem to attract the hurting events in the first turns at an unbelieveable high rate

Since you don't _LIKE_ the heavy magics and summonings, Boron, why wouldn't you like VD research? It makes your national troops more important.

[archaeolept]

w/ these settings and this map i'd actually suggest not allowing the undead nations...

The VD research will quite slow down the development of counters to massed undead, while not hurting ermor much at all.

another reason I was thinking of taking Broken Empire.

I would actually like to see someone play Broken Empire just since I have never played against them, Arch =)
