If we do this I think the upper cap will probably be like 20 or 30.

Also if you fail to win a nation or select "random" you would get a random nation with an additional 10 points (10,000 pop) on top of the bid limit. Hopefully this will stop everyone from submitting a long list of nations exactly bid limit.

In Empires in Arms, you bid on all 7 nations, but all your bids had to be a different number. We may want to do something like that here.

In the start of the thread you said something about ending at turn 125.. well in my larger SP games by the time i'm getting my imprisoned pretender I've just barely started to interact with other players (mostly indie whacking till then) and that would be about 1/3 of the game already?

If you have not encountered any other nations by the time your imprissoned pretender breaks free, then you are expanding very slowly. In most multiplayer games most indies has been conquered by turn 10-12 or so. By turn 125 you will see huge empires with all research already done. They will have access to most good summons, like seraphs etc and they will have access to almost all magic paths. By this time your turns can take 1h+ time to finish if you are one of the top nations - basically this turn limit is not at all unreasonable.

In a game like this the pace is going to be a bit faster. For comparision in Perpetuality the first nations had been reduced to their capitals by the time dormant pretenders started to wake up. That's like, after first ten turns.

(EDIT: Beaten by evil, evil Homer.)

After thinking about bidding, I must say I don't like it. In the way that if you want something, you have to take a beating to get it. The lottery system in Perp was nice in the way that you either got what you wanted, or a consolidation prize (pop bonus). Easier for likes of me who actually don't know about nations enough to comfortably take negatives on them. But, just my opinion.

I have encountered them but usually I prefer not to attack them right away.. I guess I'm expanding reasonably well cus I'm usually nr 1 or 2

I guess you are placing pplz closer together than I'm used to ( I play with 8-9 on 250 province maps)

I know that we aren't choosing nations yet, but could we just sign up for the spots or something.I don't want to have read this forum for more than a month and then miss out on the game.

Well, what about the idea of bidding with pretender points? Do you think it could work?

I agree. I'd love to get into this game but the only factions I feel that I have any kind of grip on are EA Mictlan, or maybe EA C'Tis or MA Marignon. If I got stuck with any of the others I wouldn't have much of a clue how to play them.

I guess if you can get 66 players experienced enough to tackle any of 66 different factions then you wouldn't need me anyhow.
