I have nothing against random nations, though it may be a bit drastic. Then again, the best way to discover other nations is to play them.

Panther and I are in. As for the CD key problem, I don't have any problem with you seeing my capitol every turn. Also... I think going totally random on the nations would be really cool.

And by the way everyone, Alneyan is a great host

So, the roster would be:
- Panther
- Steerpike
- TheBirthdayParty
- The_Tauren
- Alneyan

Random nations it shall be then! I will put myself somewhere in the order, according to the Rule of the Die.

Should I remove the water nations from the list of nations? Inland has only a few water provinces, but it may make for an interesting position. Or perhaps not.

I'm in. Random nations could be fun - I have to start playing something else than Ctis or Marignon at last.

I'd like to join. I think Zen's balance mods would improve the game, especially the pretender one.

Blofeld! Please sign that non-aggression pact, for a duration of 200 turns! No strings attached, no fine print (none that the naked eye can see at least), a once-in-a-lifetime offer! I'm cutting me own throat!

Welcome aboard Oversway and Blofeld. It makes seven of us, so I guess there is still room for a couple more players. The current settings go as follow; feel free to protest if something does not quite strike your fancy.

- Map: Inland
- Independents: 6
- Research: very hard
- Renaming is on, HoF has 15 entries.
- Victory condition: controlling half the capitals, though the game may go on if the player in control of the capitals wishes it.
- Nations will be assigned randomly
- All the other settings as default
- Mods: a mod making hoarding items much less appealing (I think I will go with Panther's values: 5 Water for the Clams, 3 Nature/3 Fire for the Fetishes, 4 Blood and 2 Earth for the Bloodstones). Zen Pretenders will be enabled as well.

And the remaining queries about the settings:
- Should water nations be kept out of the game?
- For the victory condition, should it be "full control" of half the capitals, or would "being besieged" be enough?

Erm, I couldn't agree more that clams are way underpriced, but 5W??? Couldn't we stop at 4W? I think 4W 1S would be cool. And what about soul contracts? Am I the only one who thinks those are just as badly underpriced?
