I also want in.

I second Jurri and suggest to totaly ban diplomacy.
This of course is unforceble but I feel that playing that way might prove interesting.
How about hiding all the information graphs so that players will tend less to gang against the leader.

I also agree about banning blood nations as they have an advantage in this map.

Anyway, If I was to select a nation I would have taken Pythium.

I set it up on Esben's server just to claim the slot; I chose Desert Eye as the map; 125 provinces, wraparound, seems about right. If anyone wants to suggest a different map, though, I'm all ears.
I think we should leave graphs on; with no diplomacy, "everyone bash the leader" easily becomes "everyone bash the leader except for me - I'll rip up my distracted leader-bashing neighbor's undefended backside".
With graphs off, it's just "everone bash their neighbors", which is a lot more straightforward and less interesting.

If people with more experience than I think a blood-banning is appropriate, we can do that... I wonder if it's really necessary though? We won't see as many massive spells flung around, but with so much income it should be relatively easy to field large squads of mages; also, large armies of more mundane troops should be more supportable. In the amount of time that I imagine this game taking, I don't think the advantage granted to a blood nation by these parameters will be overwhelming. But I could easily be totally wrong...
