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!

Yep. You chose a number of victory locations (capitals might be chosen) and a number of needed points to win. Every midsummer you get one point for each victory location you currently own.

This way games can't go on forever, and you need to fight over those victory locations people have captured. And the sooner you take them the better.

Very nice. I guess this MP mode will be very popular.
