So were almost ready to start, we still need 3 pretenders: Reay-Vanheim, Imororg-Sauromatia and Kyosti-Pangaea. I miss these so if you already send them please do so again.

Have been generating a lot of maps the past few days and i think i'm almost satisfied =)I'd like to know you'r view on victory points because i think it will make the game more fun but i have'nt got a clue on how many points and the distribution of them between nations.

Let me know and i will make up my pretender mind.

VPs will shorten the game, which is fine. I am very slightly against VPs, only because i am about to play another VP game... I really dont care that much.

I'm indifferent to VPs, having never played with them before.

Get those pretenders in so we can get started!

Sorry I missed a sign up for your game, Cor. I'm excited about getting my butt kicked by actual humans instead of the AI. heheh

I would vote against cumulative VPs, but I'm indifferent to using standard VPs. VPs do make a large map more workable for the end game and I like that. I think it makes sense to have either a VP condition or a province total condition, but its not essential.

VP's do allow for the "teleport in with SC" attacks for the win, which can be obnoxious. On the other hand, they do shorten the game.

After reading the AAR of this VP game I suggest caution with VPs.

Summary of complaints: the game ended early (turn 48) and abruptly (by raiding). Players never seem to castle thier VPs. The 3 point VP provinces are too much. 40% Vp is too low, 65% suggested.

Agreed.

Gaaarrrr! I cant wait any longer either!

Just the anticipation of losing in such a complete and total way is immobilizing.

But seriously, i am excited and I am fairly certain that I have set myself up to lose with Marv and a very poor pretender pick.
