Default Re: What will your first game be and why?

I'll play the late age japanese nation (Jomon?) because I like their theme, I would like to ease into playing with extended magic (I have only played the demos so far).

Then maybe the one-eyed people, also late age (mostly because they have an Olm!).

I will quickly create my favorite gods for Pangaea and Oceania (water pangaea).

Then I will create a god for Mictlan in case someone talks me into a multiplayer game. Only because I totally love the idea of having a giant flying assassin god that can summon demons to help with the assassinations.

Then I will start it generating maps and more maps and more maps and then some strange maps

As will I. How exciting!
RNG in the sense of rolling dice? Or in the sense that there's finally a "choose random AIs for game" option? (Preferably with checkmarks to disallow nations, so newbies can avoid Ermor and the like, and others can avoid nations that tend to use abusive cheats (ie : targetting the human player when they can't even see him)).

Now any AI or human player slot can be set to pick a random nation not already picked by another player slot.

EDIT: Did I mention cumulative VPs?

Cumulative VPs a la the King of the Hill scenario? Awesome! Many thanks Illwinter!
