MP Game - Faerun Pirates

As far as I'm concerned, we can start right now. Pangaea being missing does give Ermor a bit of extra edge if we're playing with the fixed start locations, and the lack of T'ien Chi, Abysia and C'tis give the eastern nations, but especially Jotunheim a lot of expansion room.

If we're playing with random start locations, that won't be so much of a problem, but then I'll be screwed...

Edi

I don't see an option for fixed/random start locations on the Moshansen page. We could choose a different map or fill in the blank spots with hard AIs.

Also, any preferences on common/rare random events?

We are going to start in about 24 hours, so express your opinions now.

[Edi]

Common random events, please.

Random locations or not, all the same really. At least nobody will start out on the islands in a random location game, because they are all #nostart provinces. I don't know if Mose's server applies the #specstart provisions of the map file automatically, if it does, we will have fixed, if not, ah well...

And if it is indeed a random start game, one water nation and a couple of land nations missing won't be that bad. I'm looking forward to getting stomped as Vanheim...

As Edi, I think common events would be best.

I believe mosehansen defaults to using fixed starting positions (at least that's what happened with Boron's newbiegame3).

We are now just missing 3: Atlantis, Pangaea and C'tis. I'm ambivalent on filling those with AIs, but if we do have AIs, then they should be set to impossible. Hard AIs are still quite easy to defeat, and the victor gains the gold and gem income from the capital, which is quite a benefit.

I'd also be in favor of common random events

[Tyrant]

I'd prefer the fixed positions and common randoms as well.

Since we are so close to full I'd say let's wait a bit, but if others are chomping at the bit I don't mind starting.

[Thufir]

It would be great to fill the C'tis position - I think that fills the biggest blank spot, but I also don't mind starting.

I have no opinion on any of this being to new to even vaguely know the map. If the starting positions are fix, if anyone has advice onm mine i'll take it, but if not trial by fire is cool too. BURN THE WITCH!
