While I agree with Truper about Shahrivar and water nations, I dislike the World map immensely. If not Shahrivar (which would be fine if we just don't have water nations) then Cradle of Dominion or Loemander would be better than maps with 340+ provinces.

Old World (the Warhammer based map) or Multiverse might be interesting as well.


Excuse me for this agressive advertisement, but you can find here a 360 provinces wrap-around map (Neopangea).

A smaller version (266 provinces, including 50 underwater) is incoming and should be online in 3 days max.

Really like the look of Neopangea, I certainly wouldn't mind using the smaller version - 360 province games tend to drag on after the fun factor has faded.

Question: most games with human only pretenders define "human" as anything with a path cost of 10. For purposes of this game does the Great Warlok count as a "human"?

In case that no water nations are wanted i take Caelum since only Caelum + Mictlan are left and i played Mictlan too often in the past and am bored by the MM with them.

I just wanted to test if hoarding is possible with these settings with Ryleh. My first hoarding attempt with CB 5 has failed miserably btw as YC can tell

He has pretty much the regular human stats and he is mortal so I would vote that the Great Warlock is ok. Additionally, Ulm's Master Alchemist and the Pythium Divine Emperor are also fine.

I have a question tho: Is the C'tis Serpent Lord or Mict Smoking Mirror acceptable? They have human stats but apparently can shapechange if wounded?

Hmm.... Its a really close call but I suppose I wouldnt. Plus it wouldnt be fair to force all the other nations to pick strictly human pretenders and then let Man/Ctis/Mict pick pretenders that were tougher. Ok, so lets say no to all the almost-human shapechanger types.
